In my 31 years of collecting and attending card shows in New Orleans and occasionally Houston, I never came across a M101. I bought my first M101 off of Ebay about 4 years ago, but before that nada. Even on Ebay they have been relatively scarce, showing up only occasionally.

Collectors like me are not in the mainstream of the hobby circuit so we were rarely able to contribute to the demand for this and similar issues. Now that these cards are available to anyone who has the ability to log on, I believe what we are witnessing is more accurate price setting rather than prices gone wild.

Certainly a new influx of collectors or investors contribute to increasing prices realized, but so do veteran collectors previously isolated from the mainstream market.
