Will this stock market madness affect cards?

[Goudey77]

All the negative energy contributes very little to these forums. Please don't be a hobby justice warrior. This is not about taking a stance on either side. This is a hobby not politics. We are all adults and can make our own decisions. If you are a true collector you could understand that perspective.

Given all that's come out in the past couple years (been out there longer, but really coming to light thanks to BODA) regarding illegal shilling and fraudulent grading, why pay (fake) premiums for manufactured (low pop) rarity?

I bid on seven items last night and lost all of them. People are still going nuts over cards. The only way they will stop is when this starts happening outside:

Thank goodness I like nice vintage cards so much. If I didn't, I would have much more in the stock market. Whew!

Goudey77 -

No negative energy. Just facts.

Not being a "hobby justice warrior" lol.

Not taking a stance, on either side.

Nobody is bringing politics into this, smh.

Yes, all adults (I think). We make our own decisions.

I believe, totally just my opinion, "true collectors" are those who collect purely for the fun of the hobby and don't have a dime at stake.
