The Hobby: Bulls, Bears and Chicken Little

[BBB]

On my end, I will sacrifice frequency/volume. When I start buying again , my budget will probably be same as before as will the items of my interest. I'll just buy fewer items. I'd rather have a small handful of gems on par with my current collection than to start diluting the pool due to pricing changes and my unwillingness to change scope of collection, budget or quality of cards.

To each their own, but this will be my path.

Though I'm currently in the middle of a sell phase that could stretch another year or so.

I mostly collect N, T & E cards and I have not really noticed that prices have really changed all that much lately...some are higher than they have been like e105's, but that happens when 4 or 5 guys are collecting the set at the same time.
I don't really follow Topps cards and had no idea that a Topps Clemente sold for 1/2 million dollars. It seems unreal that someone paid that much for a baseball card. A Topps card to me is more of a keepsake than a collectible. Like a 1978 Topps Jose Cruz or something that I have 5 of in vg/e. Rob
