Don't try to time the market, and don't listen to anyone who thinks they know where it's going.

A rare agree! To answer the question about where to buy, people seem to be doing well on Facebook. I thought myslabs would become huge since it took eBay fees pretty much out of the mix but inventory has been limited. The BST section here is always good.

I can't even remember the last time I bought a card off of eBay, so I'm with ya!

My advice is to find local shows in your area, where you can wander the floor and see if there are cards worth shelling out your greenbacks for. Plus, the somewhat-regular-priced and discount bins are always cool to dig through.

Maybe just being back in the collecting environment itself, checking everything out, will help you ease back in to the hobby in a more happier way, without the dark cloud of 'What in high heck happened to the cost of cards??!!' hanging over your head.
