Part of that growth is attracting the big bucks guys--I'm afraid we will be following the same path as coins, where it appears that several of the choicest items have fetched $10 million plus in the last couple of years. Stay on the cutting edge in forging a collection that will see great appreciation in value, rather than on the trailing edge, where you've got to have a huge bank account to compete!
Happy collecting,
