Remember how sought after and expensive AP's used to be. You don't hear much about them now. I don't know what happend. At one time most everyone wanted at least one AP in their collection. Now people have lost interest in AP's. Was it the FC? Could it be people would much rather have a single-digit flag# than an AP?
Maybe it's because the number of serious HL Collectors has dwindled via a bad economy and attrition. It seemed to start about eight years or so ago. So far, the "jump start" hasn't happend to collectibles. The real question is will it ever.
