Happy Festivus! Airing of Grievances 2024 Edition

[raulus]

I’ll go with just about everyone’s favorite:

The cards are too damn high (priced)!!!

Just seems like to get anything nice requires a 6-figure outlay these days. And I struggle to convince myself that it’s a good idea to part with so much cash for so little in return.

So I keep biding my time, hoping that someday the everything rally will end. And in the meantime, just keep plugging away towards my retirement goals.

Dude if you can't find anything nice for under 6 figures, you must be collecting some very very elite cards.

Six figures will buy a collector some nice cards on the non-sports section of the hobby. Apparently, not an unpunched 1932 U.S. Caramel McKinley, but some nice stuff nonetheless.

Six figures for anything nice ?! You must have expensive taste in cards

+1 to your overall point though.
