I follow red cobbs a little bit too. Just like any art piece it is about the aesthetics. The best specimens for the grade haven't gone down in value that I have seen. A 1.5 should be around 1500 dollars......show me as many like this and I will buy all you have at that price. IT is true that the lesser looking ones might take a dip...but the best ones, I haven't seen it yet.
As for the subject, I also see some similarities in the hobbies.

Have no idea how the higher graded red Cobbs are doing.
