It's sad really, since many REAL collectors keep their collections
in pristine, mint condition.
I am lucky enough to have two SOTL Criterion, one unopened.
Alas, even it has dropped in value compared to what I could have
gotten for it when the demand had peaked ( I should have sold it).
It really sucks too, since a simple baseball card that ALSO gets
printed in the millions numbers gains value because of retarded kids,
and their parents, but these true artistic gems lose value from day
one.
At least they aren't as bad as the one realm with the worst
depreciation rate known to man... the PC.
