high-end auto parts are the biggest scam in dentistry.

On a side note that story on the “Porsche” Type 64 was really interesting.

I really hope the price of cardboard takes a royal dump. It would be nice to see more reasonable prices/valuations for the hobbyist.

I've always looked at this as collecting pieces of history of a sport I've always loved. The value of my collection wouldn't suffer because I put ZERO value to it. I buy it, I look at it, I enjoy it - I rarely sell any of it. The prices of this stuff could drop 90% and I'm good because I never thought of it as an investment to begin with.

The baseball card hobby is certainly due for a correction as prices are insanely high.

The only prewar card I have followed in the last year is the T206 Red Cobb. The price on it has been dropping like a rock off a cliff. About 8 months ago you couldn't buy a complete beater for $1500, I know I was trying. Now I have seen much nicer examples selling for under $1000. Have no idea how the higher graded red Cobbs are doing.
