When I was in High School (on a strict budget from working at KFC), I always said that the Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle cards would be the Babe Ruths and Ty Cobbs of the future. I mostly collected 50's and 60's cards then. However, I would buy older cards from time to time (this was before the internet, and there just were not many caramels or t-cards around my area).

Anyway, I have noticed myself recently not buying much b/c of the increase in prices. I can't afford to buy a "bunch" of cards and afford my collection any more. There just aren't too many caramels to be had in the $50-$100 range any longer (the cards I use to buy a lot of, while waiting on cards I really want to appear for sale).
