It's time to move on.

I would argue that you remain more invested than many with card ownership. Hard to miss it if you are steeped in it.

Completely agree with you. I live cards 40 hours a week so there doesn't seem a point in having a personal collection

If this market you speak of has the items available at half of these prices why are you not buying them at this market you speak of? Obviously the material is not available so readily at what you perceive market to be. Pricing isn't just what a buyer wants to pay what a seller is willing to let it go for is also a part of the equation. Some buyers constantly undervalue because they feel entitled to the the cards every bit as much as some sellers over price them. The tone of this post sure sounds that way to me.

Why not just take a cj break and look toward t205 or t206 or t3, or what ever else catches your eye? These are alot of nice old sets to think about.

... or perhaps I spend 40 hours a week watching dice games, so I've lost the desire to gamble in my free time.

That's pretty funny for those of us who have gambled in casinos.

Ad don't ya' just hope it's a young, hot chick that squeezes in at the semi-circle and not some old fat dude that stinks?

lastly, to the OP, I suggest you consider another set to collect as has been suggested. Ramly's and T205, and subsets of both, are gorgeous and fun to collect.

The problem with sitting on planes when you sit in the middle is which arm rest can i secure because the 2 dudes on the window and the aisle already have an armrest on the end that i cant reach so they each start with one. Sitting in the middle i always attack the arm rest next to the weaker guy. I think if i took steroids i would try to get both my arm rests if it was a hot girl on both sides i probably dont get either arm rest and they both get 2.

I don't really understand people who leave due to price. You don't have to like what is expensive and there are plenty of big fish out there who aren't interested in pricey cards at all either. Just collect what you like. I don't know why a person must have a cracker jack or nothing at all.

It can get discouraging if you don't have the kind of money it takes to keep pursuing!

You can buy an amazing tobacco card any day of the week for $30 or $40. And they are all amazing relics. Things that few people know anything about. History in your hands.
