  1. Everything is an auction now... auctions are never a barometer of true value, especially now that unseasoned buyers have entered the hobby. ( when I bid I'm always struck with the feeling that its just one other person bidding against me.. arggg...and in truth there are not too many high dollar collectors out there)... Also, the quest for the highest graded copy at a premium can be a detriment to the hobby as CGC is still relatively young. We all know there are many great collections out there that have not been graded. As a "collector" I would rather have a nice solid high grade book that I can enjoy, but at the same time I am willing to pay a premium as a "collector" if its something that supports my collection as a whole. The best collections formed in any genre are made by people who are passionate about that genre and do not see it as an investment.
