I try not to let the money interfere with the enjoyment I have in the hobby. I plan on collecting a long time so it's not too much of an issue. I can't definitively say what the card market will look like 5,10,20 or 30 years from now. But looking at the state of things right now, it's a little upsetting I'll have a hole in my collection. But you never know what might happen!
I thought I was priced out of Campanella, but then another member here turned up one a few months ago and we were able to reach a deal. I've noticed as I've entered a holding pattern on the project, I've been spending a lot more time with the cards I sent out TTM a few years ago, and dedicating more time to a few side projects that aren't as capital-intensive.
