Default Anyone Else Feeling Marooned on Vintage Collector Island??

(Forgive me for sounding like a sharer from a Card Collectors Anonymous meeting.)


This is a perfect metaphor for my current collecting 'journey'...

I can't remember the last time I saw something on eBay that was a combination of both great and affordable. There's nothing. Everything I look at is even more stupidly priced than before, despite people (who knows what fantasy world they live in) claiming that prices across the vintage board have dropped. I even used to love picking up things with qualifiers at nice prices. Wow, dem days are over!!

I find myself beached aground at the lowest of low tides, without even a chance of a rising current sweeping in to lift my collecting ship once again. So depressing.


Anybody else??

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
