You’re someone I always enjoy seeing the cards you pick up, fine taste. I feel you, and you’re not the only one noticing on even small, recently dirt cheap cards. I’ve been ranting about this in recent weeks.
It’s hard man. Sometimes now I’m just wondering if I want to sell a bunch of cards. Maybe to fund the last few remaining goals I have, but also maybe to just be responsible about it.
When I first started buying cards as an adult in 2012, I never wanted to sell a single card. I loved that they were cheap and no one cared. I never had the mentality to buy 2 of everything to sell one day cause those just weren’t my intentions. That’s what would make it so hard to sell anything. But these prices are too ridiculous. Never in a million years would any of us have guessed that set commons would be $50-100 each. And some hitters in MP would be $500-1k. These are nearing mortgage / rent payments. For one card.
