Brian - I can fully relate. I've been collecting vintage cards since the early 80's and have gone through phases of disinterest. There are many trends (like fraud and some of the auction house practices) that make me cringe or even wax nostalgic for the days of the Willow Grove shows, SCD and actual catalogs from Doubleheaders, Howards and Fritsch. I have re-charged by finding new challenges (Batter Ups, odd T206 back stamps, some post war set building) but if that doesn't reset your clock, then take a break, play golf, go hiking or some other hobby to fill the time. Then come back refreshed and see if there isn't some angle of this hobby that grabs your interest and gets you excited again.
