Lets say for example, Larry Elmore's Dragons of Autumn Twilight novel cover. It is from later 1e items and is a novel cover no less. But -my oh my- if this ever come up for auction.

Or just the opposite, visibility and all that?But since Tramp abandoned the scene and won't be back, his rare items (of unique and higher quality) should go 'way up. I, for one, will be in there swinging.
