Speaking as the old geezer I am, the only way to try and get a card you coveted was by trading, in my case with the neighborhood gang under an old Sycamore tree, which was considered neutral territory. The bickering, hyping, inflating and mass hysteria was reminiscent of a crypto exchange during a panic. There were no full time dealers, no ah's, shows, VCP nor grading cos, only kids playing capitalists. Sure is a different world today.
