MarketNevada present a tri level market place. At the high end, there is a handful of fanatical collectors, all very advanced, willing to pay fantastic prices for something they don't have. It's hard to sell a cover for under $300 or $400 to this group. There are a few dozen collectors whose collection is more modest. They are avid buyers of material less than about $25. In between, the market is very, very thin. Material at almost every level is quite scarce. The states presents though challenges to every collector. Among the 50 states, the District of Columbia, R.P.O.'s and Streetcars, Nevada rates as the 10th state in terms of percentage of covers sold at 65.99%. It ranks 44th in terms of the value of covers sold as percentage of all town cancels sold at 0.65. The overall rank is 27th. This is a ten year running average. The most recent trends are decreasing sharply. |
