It's an interesting article. I haven't read the long introduction, which I should do. But what's interesting is the major jump in a few categories despite what many say is still a reserved if not down economy.
Especially interesting is the rise in stamps, which have been according to many hobbyists and dealers a "dying" hobby for at least a couple decades.
Makes me wonder if those assessments are purely American, since stamps of China are enjoying a huge surge as that country develops a wealthy class. There's also been a very large influx of the very top items some of which are only available once in a generation.
