Unfortunately I'm pretty much priced out of the big cards I was wanting to buy some day. Like everyone else I wanted to add Ruth, Cobb, Jackie Robinson, etc. to my collection. Well, I guess I can probably still add them some day....but they won't be in very good condition  |
Cards have become assets. Like any asset, prices do not perpetually rise.
I’m optimistic that prices will normalize when Covid eases up. The casual collector will lose interest when things normalize. Hang in there.
