<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claw, post: 88866, member: 3699&quot;]In my opinion, what has happened in the past does not reflect the same patterns of today. I beliive we are in a new pattern.Unlike any we have seen before. Ther are many reasons why,for instance, the internet, millions of collectors ,and thousands of new collectors every day.Though, what is driving this market is the newbies or inexperienced collectors.Willing to pay anything to get the new &quot;hot&quot; item. Which, in turn, will drive up the prices to who knows how much. Think about it, as for the short term, the demand will always be there. With 2 more years of state quarters to be released, there is going to be a greater demand. More demand = higher prices. Following a market crash somewhere in 2009 or 2010&nbsp; (if were still here) The demand will loosen shortly after the state quarter&nbsp; series. After the newbies realize coins are not an investment, after paying the high prices, they will&nbsp; sale their coins probably&nbsp; losing a chunk of their money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see something happening kinda like the sports cards industry in the 90&#039;s.</p><p>Way too many companies&nbsp; putting out&nbsp; way to many collections and subsets, so that it is nearly impossible to collect all of them unless you have very deep pockets.</p><p>Which in turn kills the market and drives up the prices of truly rare and old cards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Im almost positive the 2005 set will be at least $50 by summertime, and maybe $100 a year from now.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is&nbsp; the beginning of the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
