"Does anyone think value will hold if ending up still being a fairly common set???"
I think the price will always be above $850 from anyone knowing the 621TS is a vintage television. The RCA 621 is still as close as you can get to RCA prewar design without spending $10K for a RCA TT5. I'm not sure rare is the only reason it is popular. A rare 1948 one of a kind 10" console with radio and phono recently sold for under $300 on ebay. The TVHISTORY.TV site even asked if they could post a picture of the console on their site. Even 3 years ago the RCA 621 was $600 more then the ten inch 8TS30. A recent bargin is the Philco 1000 which I have seen fewer ones for sale. After I purchased a philco 1000 for $300 (after looking for 3 years) two appeared this year for sale at the ETF convention with no takers for under $200. I think a Philco 1000 has been listed for sale on the ETF web site for several months. Other rare postwar sets out there that have been available (sold on eBay) are 1948 projection sets ($200-$700), Temples ($500-$1500) and Transvisions ($1500-$2200).
