Any predictions on secondary market sales of the 3rd Reunion Exclusive when it hits the market shortly after the next reunion?

I would estimate that it will start in the vicinity of $250-$275 when accompanied by the minature, and go up from there. Let me know what you think.

The quantity of matched Hooper Strait sets will probably be fairly close to Rose Island matched sets (maybe a bit more). Rose Island sets started out at $500 on e-bay, and dropped a little in price over time. With prices dropping throughout the line recently, I think a set will initially go for around $350, and over time drop to the $250 range.

Individual full size pieces without the matching minis will probably be reasonably priced, since there could be many more than Rose Islands IMO.

The minis are the key. Not counting CH1 as a seperate edition, the NPL mini is still the rarest of the rare.

Based on my valuation formula which factors in time on market and edition size, the NPL full size, NPL mini, Rose Island REXA, and Rose Island mini take four of the spots in the Top Ten of most rare. Thumbnails are not included in this list.

If the Hooper Strait REXA is truly as unique as its supposed to be, I think it will hold better on the market than Rose Island REXA. The Rose Island REXM cuts into the latter's desirability. But the minis are king!

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Hooper Strait REXA futures on eBay well before the Reunion.

I conjecture a "Hooper Straight" (4 of a kind) REXA + REXM + Mini + thumbnail (if there is one) would go in the neighborhood of $650-$800.

Thank you for sharing that with us, Tim. I certainly hope your prediction comes true.
