Card collecting in 2020, 2021 comes with many inconveniences that weren't around even a couple of years ago. I'm right with people who have experienced empty card aisles, delayed packages and shuttered card shows. But what I haven't experienced all that much is higher prices. Oh, I know they exist. I've seen the inflated prices on blasters and other card wall items. I've scrolled through Amazon or ebay and laughed at what someone is charging for a 2021 rack pack or, worse, a collection of junk wax from 1990. And I do know that you can't buy on comc what you could buy on comc only four years ago. However, I haven't had any trouble buying cards that I want. I hear that prices for vintage cards are out of sight now. But I managed to complete the 1956 Topps set in the thick of supposed card-price inflation. I bought a Mays, Clemente, Aaron, Killebrew and MANTLE all during the height of the current card craze. I'm not seeing anything that hurt...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
