My instant reaction would be supply and demand. A lot of people have moved into the hobby in the last few years. I think they are realizing that the new stuff is mass produced and highly speculative. As a collector, I love the beauty and grace of the 110 year old cards. They are not making any more of them. I'm on a lot of the auction sites, and have read threads about high prices being paid for the portraits. That is consistent with what I am seeing. There are guys on here who have a lot more knowledge and experience than I do. But that is my "2 cents", for what its worth.
