From what I have seen the 1 1/2 years I have been back into vintage collecting, I believe the prices are only going to keep rising. I remember when I got back, I swore I wouldn't bid above certain amounts. After not winning, I have thrown that option out the door.
I have been pondering lately whether to narrow my collection down or not (don't think I will ever quit collecting again - I could probably quit smoking first!!!). That seems to be the way my collecting is now headed, as I cannot afford to collect everything these days. Looks as if I will keep my Croft's Cocoa collection and around 50 other caramel cards I really like because of the nice poses or backgrounds and sell everything else over the next couple of months. This way, at least I can have the money to bid and win items I really want or need when they do come up for sale.
