And folks foretell the demise of the hobby.

One in nicer condition (and also with the case) fetched 14,500 Euros at HH's auction today. Fees add another 23% (vs. 15 for RIA).

And folks foretell the demise of the hobby.

this item may not be the best weather-vane for the hobby as this book might also be of interest to rare book collectors , as opposed to ONLY militaria collectors.
With cross interest collectors after it, it may go higher than normal for militaria types.

I don't think anyone is forecasting the end of the "well-to-do" collector. Just the "Average Joe" collector".
