The prices on this book are strange so if you have it in your collection you might have noticed a drop. The market is doing something very specific with this one.
First of all, if you own it, awesome. The market is valuing raw books at a lower price, desirable yes, but lower. The high end graded books, 9.6 and 9.8 are going nuts. Heritage had two sales of 9.8 books at over $6500!
I believe that this book is a key book that is highly sought after BUT people want it graded. If it's raw some collector will avoid it, maybe even think something is wrong with it because from a money point of view you can make a lot more from a graded book. Why wouldn't a seller grade it? Some don't like to grade their books, I totally understand. But it you're selling it, grade it first.
I hope that helps clarify the dramatic difference in raw and graded for this issue,
Ron
