Fred, yes over 90% of my cards were purchased before the big covid run-up. I was fortunate they have grown in value significantly. So much so that they now represent the majority of my retirement savings. I do own my own home outright, however, I have no pension or company retirement plan as I am self-employed. I did not plan it that way, but I guess I lucked out to have the chips fall where they may. It will be difficult to part with them some day when money is needed for retirement. Until then, I enjoy my cards very much, take pride in ownership, and love collecting the lesser cards I can afford. Yes, I agree purchasing big cards at today's prices could be more risky than ever before. This past year I have invested what I could into Bitcoin, not big cards. Again, I thank my lucky stars Bitcoin has done well and has a bright future. Between shrewd investments, a little luck, and the smarts to save what I can and not over spend, I should be fine come retirement in a few years.
