My card buying habits are largely dictated by my income. My income is largely dictated by how my business is going. That's dependent on the economy at large and my work/skill/luck. The stock market is only a part of the economy. The last stock market downturn was the residue of problems in the economy, not the cause of them. I think this is a true correction.

No it doesnt influence my collecting in the least. Hopefully things will get better for all affected.

The recent losses just knocked out gains of the past nine weeks of a nine year bull market. I suspect people will survive.

Yes for me but only because I work in finance. I had a high bid on a card in a current auction and was just outbid literally right now. If we didn’t have this market vol I would have probably upped my bid. But in light of how the market may impact me and my bids in upcoming auctions, I’m bowing out from the card.
The fact that there was 10 coming of this (find) type in the mile high auction and the current bid also had to do with it. Just let it go...... Last edited by joshuanip; 02-08-2018 at 09:07 PM.

Very small collector but I’m technically a stockbroker/advisor and pullbacks have no effect on my budget (as meager as it is).

It’s always important to have a balanced portfolio. 10% cash 10% bonds 20% stocks 30% cards & 30% comics
 It’s also important to dollar cost average, which is why i contribute the same amount to my DraftKings account every week.

If nvidia keeps doing well it could increase my card budget temporarily when I decide to sell. For the most part it doesn't change it much one way or the other.

heck yeah
best time to buy is when the shite is hitting the fan or when people are distracted by the things they get distracted by
especially when there is illiquidity in the resale mkt when compared to bids and asks all day long there's always someone who needs money now
