[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 6542784, member: 95174"]This was a discussion I was having with someone the other night but came out with a different conclusion. I was a young stamp collector during the late 70's and when inflation started getting under control in 79/80 the prices for stamps in Harris catalog went down significantly. It was a universal price decrease. I am sure it occurred in all of the collectable markets. We do not have an increase in inflation yet but it is almost certain to happen here in the states, I believe prices will continue to rise until the inflation is got under control again. It is also an odd mix of many new collectors and less things to spend their money on. As for the Leu auction, I participated, I won a few good looking coins but not at a bargain but not a an unfair price either. I did see a Aspron trachy get an obscene price, it was a billion issue and I think the bidders confused it with the Electrum version. All new collectors have made mistakes ( I did) but hopefully those mistakes will be learned from.[/QUOTE]
