The lack of all three of those things should have a negative effect on value, but apparentlye it does not.
Would love to see some support from others who cannot afford to play in this space as currently construed. Or is everyone else loaded and it’s just me that can’t afford any of this? Then I should just go back and find another hobby if this one doesn’t work for me any longer and when everyone else is fine with things being the way they are.

Phil—Again, the market is the market. If you are not “fine” with the way things are how do you propose that things be changed? If you find that being priced out of some cards is overly frustrating for you perhaps you should find another niche in the hobby where prices are lower. I collect WNBA cards and you can easily operate in that space on a limited budget. How about non-sports? The joy is in the chase; sometimes I think it is almost immaterial what you are chasing.
