Adam, agreed, good conversation.
Some rough data, using rare backs as examples...
In 1997 a lower grade Drum was probably $500 (or less)...today you can't buy one for less than $5,000, and depending on player and condition they can easily sky-rocket from there. Uzit- $300-400 in 1997...today $4,000+. Common Hindus, maybe $100-150 in 1997. I was outbid on one the other night for $1,500.
I'd estimate that most rare backs are around 10x today versus where they were 25 years ago.
