About every six months, I update my price index to show how railroad-related collectible scripophily prices have been doing. As you can see from this chart, prices continue to decline – AT LEAST FOR THE 43 CERTIFICATE VARIETIES THAT MAKE UP THIS INDEX.
The index, on December 31, 2016 was $3,386, down from the high of $6,913 at the end of 2003. While not particularly stunning news, I can say that prices are currently up about 1.3% since the first of the year.
