With the insane spending that goes on in today’s hobby, I could save up for the rest of my life and never be able to afford any of the really big cards. That’s what really sticks in my craw.

I hear ya, Phil. I used to be able to buy big cards too. Now they are the price of small houses, at least. I have to stick to oddities and not Ruth or Jackson so much. It is what it is. I don't have a Ferrari either. I guess I could trade my home for a really nice card but I can't live in a card.
