What all of this discussion points to is that you can't really straddle the fence between collector and investor, or be agnostic about the finances of your collection, not at today's values. If you are a collector and you know you aren't selling off your cards in the foreseeable future absent a calamity, then this is all an academic exercise. If you are an investor, you have to move in and out of things as the money seems to flow, hopefully by anticipating trends and buying or selling into them, hopefully unsentimentally. It isn't easy to make those distinctions, but in life not a lot is easy peasy. Frankly, not being able to decide whether to sell vastly profitable cards, or whether to buy a five-figure card, are wonderful problems to have.

I believe Dutch tulips are starting to wilt. Since I am Yoda, I can speak in metaphors.

Is this some reference to Tulip Mania, and the fact that Student Loan payments are coming back in full force, thus affecting the card market? Or am I reading too deep into things?

Hobby morale is not low. SCR Ryan's morale is what's low. With regard to everything and everyone. All the time. It's sad.

Personally my morale is high, started a few collecting projects with new goals, missed a few opportunity's but have to be patient, the cards come around when they are supposed too. Saving my greenbacks a little at a time to land a big fish or two. - Every card needs a thread... - |
