<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1909617, member: 66&quot;]Your probably a bit low on that estimate.&nbsp; Of the eight bidders five of them were in at the $100 level, and four were still in at $200.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes sample slabs, or regular slab collecting is a niche market, but there are a lot of things in numismatics that are niche markets.&nbsp; And if you have a niche market rarity if you don&#039;t track down the niche market buyers you will lose your shirt.&nbsp; But that is true with anything.&nbsp; What would a specialist in Dahlonegha gold pay for a set of two cent pieces?&nbsp; Not as much as a lot of dealers because he just doesn&#039;t have a market for it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some niches are a lot bigger than others.&nbsp; Large cent die variety collectors or Capped bust half die variety collectors are large niche markets and it is easy to find collectors.&nbsp; VAMs are a smaller niche market, but still one that is well known.&nbsp; Collectors of colonials by variety is also a small niche, but they are willing to spend a lot for pieces they need (A Vermont RR-37 that was not identified by variety closed on ebay yesterday.&nbsp; it opened at 99 cents and closed at $29,900.)&nbsp; Slab and sample slab collectors are a very small niche today (But has grown noticeably over the last ten year).&nbsp; What it will be ten years from now who knows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
