premiums on strong eye appeal -- with a focus on centering -- is where you are seeing the largest percentage increases in vintage overall. we have seen that be a consistent trend over the last year. very well centered cobbs with strong eye appeal are getting up to 100% premiums versus "average" cobbs. i think that trend continues, as it adds an unknown scarcity value to whatever the pop report says. in good economic times, the unknown part can get frothy. there's certainly some froth in our hobby, but isn't that what the federal reserve/central banks have tried to engineer since the great recession? mission accomplished! who says there is no free lunch?
