I understand the increased demand, a lot of which I believe is based on investment potential, but as the supply stays the same I still question why this set has become so hot. In other words I strongly believe you have the same scenario which took place with the '11 Zeenuts, 5 or 6 buyers who were bidding against each other at all costs which resulted in the prices being driven higher and higher. Now that those 5 or 6 guys (and yes I was one) have completed the set or are one or two cards away, the prices have come back down to earth. EXish commons were going for $250+ each and now are back around $40. Tough cards like Fullerton which were going for close to $1000 in EX are now back to about $300 or so. I don't know if the CJ 14s will experience a similar drop but both sets are extremely tough and unless a few elderly collectors of 11Zs on the West Coast decide to part with their collections, that set will be nearly impossible to put together now.
