There is a lesson to be learned here, The "Stooge market" was primarily based on the buying of a few old-time collectors, most of whom no longer collect. This is very similar to some other niche markets. I remember when Michael Jackson bought every Shirley Temple poster that came along, and prices soared. When he quit buying, the Shirley market tanked.
But while some areas fade, others soar. And sometimes some out-of-favor markets make a comeback. It is in the nature of collecting. If a mega-rich person started collecting on say, El Brendle, tomorrow, then in no time his posters would be among the priciest there are!
