Are rare backs getting ridiculous?

[Matthew H]

IMO, the hype, buzz and overall enthusiasm created by some of the discussions here have helped fuel the runaway train. I feel bad for some of the guys who've started the whole thing, it's probably getting hard to pick stuff up.

Just for someone in my boat who is building the Monster, I try to pick up a rarer back (non piedmont, Sweet Cap) when I can to add a little life to my set, but you're right...it's coming at a cost. I would hope the market would just stabilize a bit until I get my set built. I feel like a lot of older collectors who have a lot of the rarer backs locked up in their collections keep the market from being inundated with rare backs which helps set an added premium on top of their lower population. The market will eventually reach a point where it levels off or even starts a small dip and this could create a, "I better cash out now" atmosphere which could drop prices significantly.

If you want to make some cash, take a look at David Hall's want ad in the latest SMR. It's all about rare backs.

I don't get the SMR. Does anybody have a scan of David Hall's want ad? Thanks in advance!
