There was a question on Twitter today asking what advice you would give to someone who is considering collecting and my response was simply collect what you like.
To your point it was fair with their cost structure to operate that way but EBAY changed that and gave power to the collector. The barriers to entry in cards is just money so anyone with a few bucks can play. There was a great thread a few years ago on CU where a guy was flipping his way to a Mantle. The open market that EBAY created put many of the dealers on the ropes and allowed for scenarios where just your every day guy can try and play and win.

That is the same advice I give. My problem is over the 35 years i have been collecting my focus has changed a bunch of times. Lately I have added Wade Boggs bats to my must have list. Hoping to get a rookie gamer tomorrow.
