<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 2247286, member: 23692&quot;]I would say that there is little added premium as a whole, and maybe adding 10-15% or so if there were no marks through Vicky&#039;s hair. Some varieties are 3, 4, 5, 10X, up to 60X premiums over a normal one.&nbsp; When we did the 2011 Charlton variety section, we used a VF-20 1858 as the gauge for any specific variety of any other date to arrive at scarcity or easiness/difficulty to find.&nbsp; And that was what Charlton and Trends, following our lead, initially set the prices at.&nbsp; The market has dictated the value since then and, after 4+ years, we were pretty close on where we put things.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, back when we wrote it, a vanilla 1859 was $10 in VF-20.&nbsp; We thought that to find a DP#5 in VF-20 was 40X harder to find than a similar 1858, hence a DP#5 went into Charlton at $400, or 40X more than a normal one. If you look at pgs 266-268, you will see where we initially put the premium, the &quot;premium&quot; definition being xx more than a normal one.&nbsp; Today, a DP#5 Trends at $500, 5 years later than when we did the guide.&nbsp; The &quot;premium&quot; that we established carried through across each of the grades in the 2011 Charlton, you will notice, as being XX more than a normal one in that grade.&nbsp; So, anyone that says that Trends doesn&#039;t chamge needs to look at the ANNUAL or BIENNIAL change, not a monthly one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
