I did get into some stuff early, high grade isn't the only "investment" though. Truly rare or iconic items have done awfully well based on the same REA auction. But the fact of the matter is I have been priced out of some things, doesn't mean I am bitter though as I love the hobby. I would love to do a 1914 CJ set but that will never happen after the huge spike 3 or 4 years ago. Yes, ultimately I agree its all ego driven by definition, but there are some innocent factors as well like connecting to our childhood.
I guess I am just amazed...and there are definitely a ton of people with tons of cash.
