<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 88971, member: 68&quot;]I pretty much share your prediction if not your sentiments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a cycle to all things and your take on the likely events to unfold will probably not be too far off the mark.&nbsp; But there are many things we can do to lessen the chances of a major drop.&nbsp; Just recognizing the cycle in advance improves the chances we&#039;ll be on the right side of the move will serve to mitigate the effects a little.&nbsp; Warning the newbies that long term pricing is always dependent to some degree on supply even if in the short term it&#039;s demand which sets prices can help a little.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is not to say that there aren&#039;t good values and great collectibles among the newer coins, merely that it is up to them as a collector to recognize value and to be aware that collecting in hot areas may be enjoyable but they should be careful about the amount of money they put into it.&nbsp; These areas will still be available in the future and may be much cheaper to collect at that time.&nbsp; There may also be some extremely good short term speculations among these newer items and it is this which will likely set up the higher prices and subsequent fall.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is generally very unwise to speculate in a collectibles market even if you are aware of what you&#039;re doing.&nbsp; The chances of large profits and a percieved small risk trap many people into huge losses.&nbsp; Collectibles markets can turn quickly.&nbsp; Collectibles are a lot of fun to collect, so enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
