Yeah I was wondering whether OP meant "anger at high prices" or "anger at low prices"!

I try very hard not to live in the past of which can drive one crazy, but I do kick myself at times for passing on the '86/'87 Fleer Basketball wax at $10.00 a box all I wanted at the time..

I was originally thinking high but it could be for both. You can decide.

"Whaddaya got? Oh, and high card prices. Yes, definitely high card prices."

People get mad at prices because they have a preconceived idea of what they think an item is worth based on comps, prices guides, etc. There is no absolute value on collectibles. The value of any one card or item is the agreed upon price between buyer and seller, at that exact moment in time.

People ask me all the time what my stuff is worth and I tell them that I have no idea. I don’t worry about values assigned by someone else. The day I start equating my stuff to a particular value, it then becomes a commodity instead of a collectible.

I enjoy my stuff too much for that to happen.

I don't get angry at card prices...I take it out on the card!

You can try to take it out on the card, but what are the odds that when you wake up in the morning Bobby Ewing will step out of the shower clean-shaven and uncreased, almost as if the entire episode was merely a dream?
