<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2918035, member: 76863&quot;]I could not agree more.&nbsp; I can certainly see how some of the &quot;keys&quot; got their reputation in the pre-internet/TPG days and it&#039;s understandable how they hung onto it.&nbsp; It was also much easier for someone to corner a market in those days.&nbsp; The one&#039;s who could have potentially known would have been sellers which wouldn&#039;t be in their best interest to not let the rare reputation build up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You did touch on another very relevant price factor as well too with how buyers behavior is just changing.&nbsp; The money is without a doubt spreading more.&nbsp; World coins are coming in by the boatloads to TPGs it seems as both PCGS and NGC have longer wait times for world coins and every week that goes by you see more and more graded for sale ect, and the thing is they are selling hence the process continues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no doubt that the average collector today has a much more diverse collection than the average collector of 40 years 30 years ago ect.&nbsp; World coins are growing in popularity, type collecting and buy whatever you like has overtaken set building ect.&nbsp; I can&#039;t really find any evidence that suggest the price drops we&#039;ve seen are because of a dying hobby, they all make perfect sense considering how it&#039;s changing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
