CatI am not sure you can make an argument of the long term value of the card dropping. Together with Hal's argument of the premium paid for the best known example is the known glut of high end cards appearing on the market at once. It appears that prices have been driven down... I would guess VERY temporarily and not specific to this card... but more specific to Lelands auction following so many other auctions.
As a comparison to the stock market, one time, as a relative youngster, I asked my grandfather why our GE stock dropped significantly after a moderate "crash." Afterall, I told him, GE is a GOOD company. He mumbled to me: "when they raid the brothel, they take the Piano Player too."
