<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 2400253, member: 56370"]I think that certain sectors of the numismatic market are more likely to be in a bubble than others. Slabbed modern NCLT coins, both US and world, are just asking for a crash IMO as there is just too much hype with too many of them being minted. I don't see how they can hold their value for decades to come. Classic coins, on the other hand, seem to be a lot less volatile, and they are backed up by genuine rarity. For example, there are less than 100,000 Bust quarters estimated to be still in existence, and you can buy a problem free circulated example for $100. I don't see much downside there, and it wouldn't take much added demand to cause prices to shoot up.</p><p><br /></p><p>When discussing bubbles there have been a lot of comparisons made to the baseball card market. Just out of curiosity, how well have the "classic" cards (e.g. 1950's, 60's) held up in comparison to the "moderns"? Based on my limited knowledge it appears that the cards from 1980's to present can barely be given away while the older cards still have a lot of value? This is not necessarily the best comparison, though, considering that once the generation that first collected the "classic" cards passes away, new generations may not be interested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
