I was definitely one. I got tired of the mass produced crap that was all over the hobby. I returned two years ago, and found that at least there were some product lines I liked (I am a huge fan of the Bowman Chrome prospect autographs, as John referenced). And for the last year and a half, I have purchased those heavily, trying to get "caught up" on the years I'd missed.
But it's still vintage that tugs at my heart strings, and I am now getting to the point where I can start buying the cards I want. I only wish I'd started about a year earlier, because when I was working, I was making more than twice what I am now on disability, and I could have bought anything I wanted. Now, I have to pick and choose, and build my collection slowly.
But I'm in no rush, really. I'm going to enjoy this. There's something about getting one or two great cards a month, and really cherishing them.
