I have mostly had a prewar mindset since as a result.

I know what you mean. I used to think all of that stuff was rare because I certainly never found any of it "out in the wild". But between auctions and all the ebay listings, nothing from this era seems really rare to me anymore. It's just not common, like 1990's cards, and it's going to cost you a lot more to acquire.
