I also doubt anybody here is cashing out their 401k to buy cards, that would be a gambling addiction and while we all make sacrifices for our collections most folks draw a healthy line when it comes to that. It's a 401k meme at this point.

As a collector, values hitting zero, while not realistic, would be great in a lot of ways. A reset back to older prices is more attractive than values rising. I don’t doubt values will generally tick up for a few years but there comes the time when this current crop of mostly 50-70 year olds with the material sells off and I’m not sure there’s enough of us to absorb the glut of material that will appear. It’s hard to find a T card collector within 15 years of my age.
The 401K is a meme now from those of us who knew it was stupid at the time, but it was made very seriously and a number of posters here were supportive. Though nobody took up the challenge to post a screencap of them emptying their retirement account for some reason…
