In my uneducated opinion and sadly they have been bought up and are being held. Many that bought before the COVID spike so the huge price jumps and sold and took profit and then those that bought are holding as investors and some potentially as collectors. The investors are holding because the prices have not risen enough(and in some case might have price decreases) so they do not want to sell for a loss

Even the 1915's have not gotten tough because as the supply of 1914 dried up the demand went to the 1915's
