11-7-98 Hi George,
You bring up another very good point, BUT the people that rush to buy all when there is no limit are, most often, the same ones that take "8 or 10" friends with them to Main street on each shift. At least it takes them several days and the area collectors still have a chance to get one.
I do not "begrudge dealers because this is their livelyhood", I do begrudge those few that are sharks and want to make that livelyhood at the expense of gouging collectors.
Also, yes, values should rise over a period of time as on any other collectible, BUT NOT overnight because a short issue has been gobbled up by a very few.
