[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 3256130, member: 77704"]I would agree partially. Also, I would love to see prices drop to levels seen during the "Farouk sale":) in 1954. I think there are three things behind the crazy prices in real estate/ art/ stamps/ coins/ baseball cards/ classic cars/ militaria all collectibles....even butterflies/ moths/ beetles! 1/ the living standard has risen in much of the World/ hence more disposible income for leisure/ hobbies... 2/ ever since 1933 many Countries went away from precious metal money to paper currency , which is only worth the paper its printed on/ look at Zimbabwe/ Weimar Germany/ Austria/ Hungary with hyper inflation. In 1712 Great Britain, when the treasury had no more gold/ silver....Queen Anne, sent out pirates/ Royal navy to plunder Spanish gold/ silver ships:inpain: and thus coin more Guineas. 3/ has Doug stated, many in the Drug Cartels/ Russian Billionaires/ Saudi Princes have unlimited wealth and "good taste"....so have many hobbies.
