30 years ago too to be honest.

It's like there's this thought that says some 'true collector' like which frequents this board is more entitled to a card they desire than anyone else who buys it.

Weird.

There were cards I bought 15 years ago that were a serious stretch to purchase then, but I could easily see there would come a time where that only became more difficult.
Wish someone had told the sellers back then to make it easier on me to fill holes in my collection.
Hi

I am not disagreeing with you and I am not saying we or anyone feel entitled. We do not. All I am saying is the spike in prices the last few months have just made it harder for collectors or investors to get what they have wanted.
This is always how it is just the spike the last bunch of months exceeds most trends in the past.
