But at what cost? I don't have thousands upon thousands of deep pockets disposable play money dollars. The only people I know making these kinds of pickups are on this forum and Blowout, etc. I'm not boo-hooing, and I'm not jealous. I just don't have that kind of money laying around. The stuff I have that commands that kind of money today I got years, decades, ago when I could spend my Navy pay or reenlistment bonus money and not have to worry about it. Yesterday I got a nice handful of beater grade 1954, 1959, 1961 and 1965 Topps cards (stars, HoFers) for all of $34 and change. Now that's a hobby, and it was fun!
