If you've been in this hobby for a few decades, you've probably scored so much good stuff at comparably low prices when considering the recent valuations. I feel sorry for people that are just getting into vintage card collecting now because the dollars today just don't go near as far as they did a decade or more ago.

Darn, that is me. Too bad my childhood 90’s junk wax didn’t pay off!
It has been hard getting into the hobby in 2021, with prices skyrocketing.
I wished I started before I had a wife, kids, and now we are house hunting. Not a good time for me, but one of the upsides is savoring each card I get a lot more now. My banged up t206 Matty portrait means a whole lot more to me now than if I had bought it way earlier.
Other bright side (at least I tell myself), is that ignorance is bliss and all I know are current market prices!
