I've had several visitors to my place look around and say,"I can't afford this hobby".And then,even when I point out that they don't have to start with high dollar stuff they just drop the whole idea of getting into it.

I'm just saying that the price of this stuff now is limiting the number of newcomers willing to become involved.And further,those who are financially capable many times choose to not become involved because they realize that investing in collectibles is a risk they are not willing to take.

Just my experience and thing to think about;if they keep going up means fewer people entering the hobby which,IMO,is not a good thing.
