No bile. No bitterness towards money, people who have it (and I have my share). But as you said collecting for me is a reconnection to my youth and that is to the cardboard itself, not the monetary value. So, if all my cards lose their value, I'm ok, means I can buy more . They aren't investments. They're something much more innocent.
