Well, NOTHING lasts forever ! Million plus print runs and holographic covers carried the market for several years in the 90's. It was the norm, it was the expectation... it killed that market. So, while you can give examples of what HAS been the norm, it doesn't mean it will hold true forever. CGC has played a huge role in the secondary market chase and as such it appears the mentioned label in a previous post will drive people away from #7 to #9. Let's be honest here, ignoring investment potential, people SHOULD be picking up #9 if they care about the character.
