You can tell the different lines apart, some more than others. Comes with experience. Some people have crossed the lines (no pun intended, lol) and the offspring are alike enough that you can't say "this one is Graziani and this one is a Bell" although maybe that becomes clearer with age.

Most lines they say "brown out" with age, while the Lemon line (is that NERD?) stays very yellow with high contrast. Grazianis I would describe as having yellow sides with a darker dorsum- kind of like spiders have white sides with a tan body (but not nearly so defined). Blonde pastels get lighter with age. Enchi pastels from Sweden are not compatible with the others. They are very orange. One line has a hereditary blackback look to them, almost a stripe of blushing down the back. Can't remember what they are tho.

That's my attempt at it. I'm sure there are others that can descibe each line more definitively (here's your chance).

And about the market- some people do control the availability for new morphs to keep the prices high. I would say that Ralph Davis is a good example. As many lessers as are available now, he is still 110% percent ahead of everyone else in proving the platinum genetics and combos out.
