Hey there!
No insta. I have debated but am probably too private for that. I have been sharing some things here and also on the private mtg FB groups. Shockingly, mtg doesn’t really have one main central online forum or I would maintain a collection thread just like the one I have here. We need an smpratte to get us organized

That’s suprising. I would have thought that forums and mtg would be a great match since they were popular around the same time

There is one central online MTG forum. It’s called Rudy’s Patreon from AlphaInvestments. 
Honestly though, Rudy’s community on Patreon is (mostly) stellar.

The hobby seems to have grown way too much to think somehow prices will somehow drop back down to 2018. A recession is not going to make that happen IMO. I also don’t think the economy is heading for nearly as bad as a state as some people worry it is. The news profits off of scaring the help out of people so they overdramatize everything.

Exactly right. I’ve taken a ton of flack for suggesting this to some people. Don’t get me wrong, we are seeing cost inflations on a variety of things out there, but I feel people just need to learn to make sacrifices or cut back until things stabilize & improve their spending habits. The only people really heavily impacted right now from what I’ve seen are simply over leveraged on credit and got caught off guard by the markets & macro policy.
Within my family, we’ve always been very frugal and we’re doing just fine. Would it be fun to go on a vacation this year or go to the restaurants more often again? Sure it would be, but for now we’re just laying low for a while. Life is not always fair or ‘fun’, sometimes you need to simply go without.
Anyway, just my opinion. We could go through a soft recession, but I currently do not believe this is a 2008 or 1929 situation like some people are parroting lately.

Pokemon market speculation aside the obvious movement of big money out of the stock market and into the bond market in the public sector and the actions of the fed and governments globally make this at best naively optimistic imo.
When the federal reserve is announcing consecutive rate hikes and the fed chair just said “We actually think we need a period of growth below potential in order to create some slack” it means theyre not only planning but expecting and encouraging a drop in growth and recession to prevent inflation from getting out of control. Bouncing out of a recession is easier than managing hyperinflation so the fed will always choose a recession and lower employment rates to keep the price of living goods down compared to dealing with hyperinflation.
They printed too much money recently to fight off pandemic strife and China closing up every second week isnt particularly good for growth either
