Same old question, but it is killing me!

The past 6 months, I have been slowly selling off my 70's and 80's collection on ebay so I could begin my vintage collection. I finally own a few really nice vintage cards like a Cobb and Matty, and have cleaned out my closet at the same time. I figure it is better to own a dozen real nice pieces as opposed to a couple thousand pieces of junk cluttering the house. Unfortunately, selling 80's baseball cards on ebay is the equivalent to selling an old cat at a garage sale. Bottom line, the current market is very unfortunate for somebody like me entering the market. I simply have to accept that I won't be completing that many sets, and the ones I do start will take many years to complete. But hopefully I will appreciate them more.
