Expensive Disney ($10,000+) was a classic "bubble" just like the stock market or real estate. A few deep pocketed collectors bid against each other over and over, driving up prices until no one but them were buyers. Then, just as in musical chairs, the music stopped, and those left with expensive Disney posters found there were no buyers, even at half the prices of the "bubble"peaks.
We will keep seeing those posters spiral lower, until finally they get to prices that mere mortals are willing to buy them. This was a classic case of buyers buying on the "greater fool" theory.
