The problem is that the Copperband is poorly collected. The wholesale value is relatively low and the collectors treat it accordingly. This is why you see them out there for $30 at the larger outfits.
Here's my take on it, if you have the opportunity to pick up a CBB that's stable and eating (3-6mo+), buy it and don't scoff if the seller is asking for 3 or 4 times the retail value. You'll spend that and more trying to get a good one from a store.
