That's actually a really interesting and IMO accurate observation. I've noticed through a bunch of downturns and rebounds that lower grade moves in all economic climates; you won't get burned unless you buy way too high. I've steadily downgraded my postwar from 7-8 to 3-6 caliber cards, with no difference in enjoyment of them. And I use the extra money to buy more cards, which is always a good thing.
