I'm the same way. I would love to pick up many cards, but am not going to pay the prices a lot of them are now going for. I will either wait till prices come back down to what I think they're worth and am willing to pay for certain cards, or not ever buy them if they don't come back down. Either way, that's fine with me. I am happy collecting on the lower end of the condition scale, and prefer raw cards, if possible. Actually feel more comfortable with the lower condition items as they would seem to be less likely to have been altered/doctored as well. I can do without overpaying for certain cards. There always seems to be other areas/items to collect from, and occasionally they can end up being a lot more interesting, at least to me.
Great examples, REA had a Ruth Feen-A-Mint mask that went for a not ridiculous amount in last night's auction. Certainly not a main stream card, but definitely a fairly rare Ruth item. And no, I did not win it last night as I was only watching it and hadn't put a bid in before extended bidding started. Kind of wished I had though, but was focused on some other items in REA. At least until until extended bidding started and I got blown out of water on pretty much everything I was interested in. LOL
