oversaturated

It seems that with so many auctions we do get a lot of investor short-termers who buy one month and sell a few months later. This can be both good and bad. It takes away the special feeling of seeing that rare card appear. On the other hand it makes those same cards more frequently available to those that want them as collectors. I buy because I love the cards and will not sell unless forced to. I just got the brunners bread cobb and the tip top wagner from memory lane and legacy. Those cards are now off the market for years and in a collector's hands(mine). I like to make money but am not looking for a quick profit. Our wonderful hobby/business satisfies both collector and investor/speculator. So the increasing number of auctions can be seen both positively and negatively.
