I don't know as much as most of y'all about what is going on out there. But lately, I have seen a lot of people that have that same collector addiction in the modern realm that I saw in the 80s and 90s. Just like in the 80s and 90s, the market is set in the year it comes out into the next year. Most of the value degrades after that. A few things will go up. But the very high-priced stuff is a crapshoot and doesn't matter to most collectors since they are 1 of 50s or less. But there are people that are trying to put sets together. They'd rather buy the boxes or cases than the factory sets for the chance at the inserts. But they still try to build the sets.
I don't know what that means, but I wonder if many of them start working backward when they get tired of riding the crest of the wave.
