For my binder collecting (sub $30 cards) it’s business as usual because I’m a ‘low volume’ collector so cards going from $10 - $20 doesn’t affect me in any significant way.
For my higher end goals (cards in the 1k-5k range) I’m waiting it out because I’m confident the market will cool off to some degree. When/if that happens I’ll reassess and adjust if needed. If these prices turn out to be the new normal these goals will take a significant haircut.
I’m still collecting what I want to collect, but I’m not willing to pay inflated prices. That has naturally reduced how much and how often I purchase.
Personal things in my life have also influenced my collecting habits.
I’ve shifted my focus to the Japanese psa 10 counterparts
I still have the same goals , that being said so far the cards I am looking for haven’t taken a dramatic increase in a psa 9 but we will see what tomorrow will bring with how this market is. Hopeful that most buyers still mostly want the 10’s and leave the 9’s alone 
Same cards on my wishlist that’ve been there for years, the list just gets bigger as more and more great sets and promos are released 
Market values will never have an impact on collecting goals, it’ll only impact how quickly I can attain them.
Exactly my thoughts. My goals just get bigger lol
I shifted my goals during the COVID rush from primarily wotc to Japanese especially when cards I picked up for $100 grew to over $1000.
Surprisingly I’m picking up wotc era cards again as I’m used to the prices.
The recent boom IMO is now associated with the following
anything but get a job
waiting outside for retail product 1 week before the item drops
investor YouTube videos
fist fights at vending machines at grocery stores
Yes, I realize this has been a thing since 2020, but it just feels like it’s on steroids. Friends of friends of friends are now involved. Everything feels inflated just to be inflated. The amount of DM’s I get from friends that are NOT in Pokemon that want to make quick buck is also a reminder.
Waiting it out feels like the logical approach while I focus on other areas like playing the TCG which I’ve been doing for a while now.
