Obviously my post is meant to be humorous, but there is some truth there. our household earnings are substantial, yet many of the items offered are not even remotely possible to be purchased. The high quality items in this hobby are not for the middle class or even the upper middle class any longer. It is now definitely controlled by those with very deep pockets and they seem to have a voracious appetite. Not a pity post, merely an observation. I used to have dreams and goals of a world class collection but it appears that will not come to fruition. How much of this stuff can they (the wealthy) desire? Maybe one day a major reset will occur. I don't collect for value or resale, those days passed decades ago. But I do like to own nicer collectibles just appears I may have to shift my focus to something less expensive.
