I think for us guys that have been collecting for 5 years or more, it's hard for us to come to terms with a seemingly new wave of collectors willing to pay whatever comes to mind, or seemingly outlandish prices, for something they want.

There have been alot of rich Arabs for some time, but the new wave of "new rich" Russian and Chinese buyers is really putting a wrinkle in the market.

There is little we can do but stand by and watch.
