I don't think this qualifies as an attic find. The article mentions that the Wagner was last sold in 1995. This sounds like a long time collector finally cashing out. I think there are many collectors who started in the 1970's who are now getting up to the age where it is time to divest their collections so that their beneficiaries don't have to go through the pain of selling off items which in most cases they probably have little knowledge of in terms of value...

I guess the big question going forward will be: Will the number of new/existing collectors be enough to carry the value as additional vintage product comes on the market through estates, etc...?

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
