Commentary: Compared to July 2009, the number of transactions were much lower. In comparison with previous months, prices have softened except for the key dates like 2000. The 2008 and 2009 has fallen back below $50 mark while 2010 is heading for that. Apparently, the hype in China has died down because it can be seen that the Buy It Now price listed by Chinese sellers have gone down by more than 10%. Compared to a year ago, key date 2000 Frosted version could be bought for below $150. Since March 2010, its price has risen by more than 50%. Even ebay sellers like yeeren are asking to buy from collectors at US$125. It is unknown why the sudden interest in that particular year.
