3. I like cards that look like they're old, that's half the fun of collecting vintage cards. They're little pieces of history, it's cool to wonder what they might have seen in their existence.

Exactly. I'm 44 and in some cases could afford to extend the budget, but I'm weary of doing that. They are just pieces of cardboard. As much as I love them - the idea of regularly spending, say a thousand dollars on just one of them - does not make sense in my rational mind. Good luck.
