Although there have been numerous comments about the rising prices for the formerly underappreciated caramel cards from prior to WW I, don't look for any kind of price correction any time soon. E94s and E98s are leading the way and the prices obtained may not be reflected in the SCD or other price guides but the demand is far outstripping the supply. (I won't even address the explosion of the E107s).
I mentioned to a collector friend of mine that I hoped to find some non-ebaying dealers at National with more reasonable prices on their caramel cards. His reply? "Don't count on it." He explained that there are dealers who wouldn't know what an internet was if they stumbled over it and yet word spreads quickly through the hobby as to what is selling and what is not.
