I feel for you. In 2014 I was 4 cards away from finishing my ‘33G set...all 4 Ruths. It was the centennial of his rookie year and several people whose opinion I trust told me that his cards were inflated and to wait a year or two and they would come back down. Man I’m glad I didn’t listen to them. I scraped up every penny I could and bought all 4 that summer....they’ve just about tripled since then and there’s no way I could afford them now. Even the sun shines on a dogs ass every once in a while. But i know the shitty feeling of watching a card you want just sail away into the sunset.
