Rich, I think any increase in price is a temporary abberation. Once HL is gone you still have a collector base becoming more and more disinterested and getting older. I think it spikes a little (ebay) and then drizzles down to the market that is now (HL). They certainly will have value as they are nice pieces but more in the current discounted range. I think the older pieces will decline faster due to visual quality of the last decade. I bot my first one this year with a plan of buying one a year. I now have 46. Yikes.
