I like seeing the stuff other people collect too. Collecting for a long time makes for being a bit jaded I guess. When I started 50's stuff was only about 20 years old, and somewhat plentiful. Many dealers would have at least a few hundred commons from each year. Sometimes more sometimes much more. 60's stuff was even easier.
But not much was in really great condition.
The place I hung out at had a computer card file cabinet for the 60's - 70's commons. Probably around 4-5000 each year. Plus stacks or binders of stars.
Things have really changed, both for the better and worse.
