I generally agree, however

One would hope, but rarity and desirability don't always meet the way we would like. Just depends on why someone wants the 7.5" Rodeo. The collectors are mostly sticking to the prettier USFAs at the moment, in the more popular calibers. The price run-up on everything else hasn't been as much, percentage-wise. I sold one of their "Rodeo" versions of their Lightning Rifle earlier this year. They made well under 100 of those - far lower production than the higher grade ones. Took a while to sell and I had to cut the price to not a whole lot more than it originally sold for, despite its rarity. On the other hand, I sold my high grade one earlier with one phone call for nearly double what it cost originally.

Will be an interesting market to continue to watch.
