It's the new reality...most of us can't afford every card we want. In a way it kinda sucks...but in reality this is the way most hobbies are. Only those with the greatest means can have it all?

But the great thing about sportscards is that there is such a wide range of prices and cards that it's possible for almost anyone to collect at some point on the spectrum.

I had shifted to buying the stale, rock hard gum that used to be included in the packs. But after breaking a tooth, I had to exit the hobby completely.

I'm looking forward to the episode where investors in an AH buy Jordan rookies from the AH for eye-catching, publicity worthy sums— and then the card subsequently proceeds to struggle to garner half that record sum. Or did that episode already air?

Hmmm.. those first sales sound a bit incestuous.
