Is it only a matter of time before the prices of these cards start to go down? I don't see that happening and maybe that was not your point. Even if prices start to "level out" they are still above the price that I can pay. Are "investors" the one to blame for the high prices that are being paid? Everyone here knows that card collecting has become a business whether the blame goes to auction houses, grading companies or the guy that owns the local card shop down the street. But, what will happen to the hobby when prices drive the true collector away? I know we have talked about this time and time again and I guess I should not have brought this up since it may only rehash what has been said before, but I am being selfish. What happens to me when I no longer can afford to collect cards that I want to collect? Maybe I am thinking, woe is me on this, but I love my family, I love my friends and I love my cards . . . but one of them is slowly getting out of my grasp
