I'm in the same boat. (not married though!) Got out of it in 2018. Got the "itch" during Covid, so started re-building my 1970-1999 rookie collection. Then just this summer, got back into vintage.
My mind was blown when I saw what my collection would be going for now. I still have it online, along with "collection #2". I cry a little from time to time, when I go back and look. haha
((sigh))
