Default Random thought of the Day

It occurred to me today that when Alan Rosen made his great find of '52s, the cards were 34 years old and had already been established as rare, valuable and 'something special'.

Flash forward to today - it'd be like someone calling you to say they found a case of 1989 Topps.

For some reason, whether to do with how old we've gotten, how much the hobby has changed, the lack of any true value in 'modern vintage' or whatever, I find that thought vaguely depressing.

Have a great weekend!
