Most of the inflated (?) rates are for pieces offered by Steve Hayden of CivilWarTokens.com. The majority of Steve's pieces are ex. Norweb, Tannenbaum, or Burzinski collections, with many being Burzinski plate specimens. These could be viewed as superior pieces by the established CT marketplace, thus deserving the higher prices. They might also represent newcomers to CTs, collectors drawn to our specialty by the desire to own pieces with provenance to either Norweb or Tannenbaum.<br /><br />I tend to think it's the latter, simply because there is no corresponding increase in other venues. For instance, eBay.co.uk prices don't seem to have moved, and the most recent Simmons Gallery auction of the Bob Merchant collection closed with what I would describe as bargain prices. Also, non-Hayden pieces on eBay.com still go for low rates, $10-15.<br /><br />I'd love to hear what others think.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823256857407336623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566370076627007470.post-60546172863119490012015-12-24T10:33:43.291-08:002015-12-24T10:33:43.291-08:00Not sure if anyone still visits this site but if s...Not sure if anyone still visits this site but if so would be interested to hear from you.<br />i) does anyone have a ready made concordance/spreadsheet/database they would be willing to sell/share ideally giving Burzinski/Cresswell/ K&L/Brook/Dick with additional empty columns for ticks, comments & sales history.<br />ii) recent US activity on eBay leaves me baffled- some relatively common tokens you would expect to pay $15 for making 10 times that. Prices on nearly all US listed material outstripping those pieces listed in Europe and again some very high prices for common material - Why?<br />Best wishes for Christmas & the New Yearsunnyleithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704684388206033119noreply@blogger.com
