This partial sheet of 40 sk of Second Vilnius Issue, Grodno postmark, CTO originally from the Hermann Logsch collection was first sold on eBay in December 2008 for $527. Then in October 2010 it was sold again on eBay for $416. Few days ago this sheet was sold for $198.
We know that this item wasn't offered for sale on eBay by a distressed collector. If eBay auctions of more valuable items are any indication of valuation trends, this latest sale may be an indication of a new long-term downtrend.
This may be an early indication that the long-term uptrend that had been seen since 90s is coming to an end and that prices of rare collectibles are headed lower from here. However, it may just be a blip rather than a legit reversal. Of course, only time will tell.
