Another Masterpiece Question

So I pulled a Cloudstone Curio from a Kaladesh pack yesterday. I could possibly find some use for it in a deck or two, but would rather just hang back for trade. Thing is, though, that it's not worth very much at all right now ($30-ish), probably just due to the saturation. So my question is...do you think it (or any of the lesser masterpieces for that matter) will go back up in value any time soon or is it looking more like a few years of waiting before I can make a decent profit?
I getcha, I getcha. Kinda what I was fearing, truth be told. Do you think it would be wise to go ahead and sell now or could there at least be a small tick-up of value over time?

Use it in a deck it looks great and if you can find a good use for it I would say keep it and use it, but if there's nothing you want to put it in then sell it, it's probably not going up.

I think I can work it into my Rakdos, Lord of Riots edh deck and wreak havoc with some free eldrazi cast triggers, so I guess I'll keep it then! Thanks, chums!

The Masterpieces aren't going to be anything like the Expeditions. The Expeditions retain a high value due to them being Lands that see extremely heavy play in older formats. The Masterpieces on the other hand, a lot of them are only played casually, one of them being Cloudstone Curio. So don't expect their prices to spike or hit a high ceiling. Masterpieces that are heavily played like Mox Opal, AEther Vial, Crucible of Worlds, Mana Vault, Mana Crypt and Sol Ring are all going to maintain quite a price tag. But I can't see them rising. When compared to the Zendikar Expeditions; those have a higher chance of rising over time then the Masterpieces do.
