[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2864987, member: 71723"]I feel this has been widely known in the hobby since what seems like forever: 1) Obviousness. An error that requires high magnification to see will always suffer in value. 2) Unusualness. "Same stuff, different year" depresses value. 3) Radicalness. I fit won't fit it a normal holder, it's gonna go up in value. 4) Escape from Hobby. If it makes general media, it goes up in value. And best of all, if more people want one than there are pieces around, it gets valuable. If almost nobody cares, it's a loser. Supply, and especially DEMAND. Bottom line? Throwing a gazillion power of a digital microscope at pocket change is NOT anybody's path to riches. Sorry, Ken Potter, it just isn't. It may sell books, which is good for Ken Potter, but, well, you know.[/QUOTE]
