Is anyone else changing their collecting habits?
This post is almost a cliche lately, but with the ridiculous prices lately in most of the cards I am interested in, I am smelling a 90's crash on the far horizon.
I am still buying, but honestly had to change philosophies and my collection has altered slightly. I now lean toward more obscure issues, and been looking at key 70's and 80's cards I have ignored but still give me the excitement of childhood memory I am always chasing. I completely ignore PSA almost, due to it selling at unsustainable amounts as I believe most of the "investors" in the market vs. collectors are familiar with it and overpay for a brand name.
My other collections are lately winning the money race for my pocketbook and my Art and Toys are really getting the funds as I wait for the shoe to drop. It might be a couple years, but just like how I refused to buy a house and rented throughout the early 2000s due to the absolute joke of values. (So glad I did that) I feel like digging in and getting stubborn about this.
What are you putting your money in, if you are sitting on the sidelines right now? I almost went all in on British pounds the other day at the 31 year low... after not doing it, I have a feeling I will regret that in a couple years.
