With the advent of ebay nearly any item can be purchased at some time during the year. You used to have to go to a show to see most of these items and auction catalogs weren't as prevalent either. It's been great for the consumer, but has driven down the value of a lot of collectibles. I think what I am slowly realizing on most of the card issues, is that the cards are available, but condition is the true rarity. It makes building a lower grade collection much more affordable than it used to be.
