I love old doubles. I believe that the mid and especially the high end of the market will hold value into the future. As noted in the previous posting rarity in small bore market. I believe the field grade market will not except for small bores.

I believe a parallel market can be seen in the vintage car market. Model As and Model Ts used to sell at a higher price than they do now as the crowd that loved them is much diminished. They are still good cars, but the demand is simply down.

Markets are driven by the realities of supply and demand, though not necessarily reason.
