Brian GoldnerAn interesting viewpoint Gil, but i can't say that i entirely agree with your assessment.
Granted, in past generations, early candy cards did not command the premium prices that they do today, but grading services, population reports, a new generation of affluent collectors, and technology have markedly changed the landscape of vintage collecting.
Though the pop reports are far from perfect, when used as a guide, collectors now have a better idea in general, of what cards may or may not be a bit more difficult to find.
That being said, i don't wish to convey that the potential for price escalation of E-cards, is limitless.
Quite the contrary, as at some point, that portion of the market is bound to level off, but not to the degree where there will be a return to their relative obscurity, of many years ago.
