To the above I'd add that I know a lot of collectors who are holding their breath because they got into substantial portions of their collections in the 2006-2009 period and don't want to realize the losses. They are buying lightly, if at all, and then only when the items are either bargain priced or really difficult to find. Sort of a dollar cost averaging approach to their overall collections. FWIW, I think the market bottomed out during the fall of 2010.
