And I think that a high percentage of regulars on this forum are just that, very wealthy. Not griping, not jealous, or any of that. Just perception. Thus the hobby for these folks is selling, buying and trading very expensive cards that most people simply cannot afford.

James I full agree with your sentiment. To me we are in a Two Totally Different Card Market World’s. Blue Collar Middle Class Collector Guys and White Collar Investor/Collector Guys. The latter has all the control thus TPG’s cater to them. It’s very smart on PSA to not lower their pricing at this time the demand is till there at much higher levels still. $50 and $100 and up.
