Not to belabor the story, but the picture I was trying to draw was not one of crashes, or cheap buys from collectors who couldn't handle their drink! Not $100 wagners, and $5 mathewsons. Not markets where you could buy up all the good stuff because you knew eventually it would be worth lots more one day.............
I mean seriously, this sports card stuff is good stuff because it has BOTH meaning AND value. It's not as if you are buying gorgeous lithography, if that's what you're after look to a myriad other advertising forms or artworks. Most card designs barely pass any kind of design muster and display extremely questionable color choices, let alone be seriously uplifting.
It was a nightmare scene, you see, where NO ONE wanted cards anymore. Not you, not anyone..............so my cards were in fact, just paper.
Maybe my writing just sucks these days.
Definitely.
