I was just thinking the same thing as I flipped through the new REA catalog. As much as I love looking at all that beautiful cardboard/memorabilia ... it's a real downer for me when I look at the prices. I wonder if there are some auction houses that specialize in lower graded cards/memorabilia? Like pre-war Good'ish and Post War VG'ish. I'm definitely a bottom feeder :-)

I am also a low end collector. How the hell do you think it feels to go to the National each year and not be able to afford stuff right in front of me ?
