To answer the earlier question about rooting for prices to fall, I've thought about this, and even though I am a pure collector with no intention to sell, my ideal scenario would be prices exactly tracking inflation. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't need them to go up because they are not my investments and I would rather spend less on cards so that I can put more into my actual investments. But if cards actually dropped a lot in price, not only might I regret some of the ones I bought over the last few years, but I'd probably have a really hard time pulling the trigger on cards I want and could easily afford because I'd always be telling myself to wait until they go down some more. So, paradoxically, lower prices might make it harder psychologically to buy.
