buying more?

I think Hal makes a tremendous point. A lot of people are holding off buying cards thinking the prices, especially on caramel cards, are going to peak and tail off and they will be able to pick them up more cheaply. I think you'll be muttering to yourself a year or two from now that you didn't buy them now just like I do when I see the prices from 2003 and even 2004 that I passed on. Caramel cards, while I am on the subject, are not being flipped like other cards for some reason. They are going in to collections. Sure you may have some released for sale when a guy decides rather than to complete a "master" set of all colors, to keep one nice set and sell off duplicates to fund buying other issues, but by and large the number of E94s and E98s (I have noticed lately) for sale has really dried up. The prices of Zeenuts have really taken off lately and how about the T210 Old Mill cards which as Jay mentioned have started climbing. It seems like collectors have finished the T205, T206 and other sets and are fishing around for eye appealing sets to work on.
