Judge DredDJ,
You are going to be a closet collector that doesn't tell your wife (the girl with the $800 bag) what you just added to your collection. The way things go you will probably quietly hoard a lot of nice material and then when the stuff really pushes the envelope and prices go really crazy (as if they aren't already) you will decide to tell her about the little "investments" that you've made in card board. Within a short period of time the bubble will burst and you'll have a nice collection but not worth near as much as you figured. She'll then swing that $800 bag at you and hit you square in the forehead where it will promptly leave a huge mark in the shape of the metal logo which you so despise (most of us do).
Do you think that the prices can get any "worse" for collectors? Do you think that there's going to be a huge influx of cash into the hobby? I keep thinking that it's already hit a peak. Perhaps that is just my wishful thinking. Actually I can't wait for the bubble to burst so that I can start picking up the material cheaper.
