I actually agree that these huge print run cards will bottom out. But there is way to much demand in this project for the lower print runs to fall below msrp. Heck the fact that you claim you want a set down the road shows the appeal these cards have. I can’t understand why someone who likes these cards and wants a set would not be buying these every day at the low bundle price. It seems saving $1k possibly on on the set is hardly worth the possibility of paying significantly above msrp in the future. It’s extremely shortsighted to think the upside savings, which is capped, would be greater than the downside potential cost in the future which is unlimited. I also struggle to understand why people with no interest in this project would spend time to post in a thread on an Internet forum such as this, but that seems to be happening as well. There must be an agenda there or what’s the point?
There are plenty of people just like me who have been buying from the beginning and have no intention of selling. That will limit the number of available cards considerably in the future, specifically for the lower print run cards.

A significant amount of the time, you'll land a discount buying in sets. Buying vintage sets and breaking up--generally worth less than the sum of its parts.
Downside potential isn't unlimited. Downside potential is simply you don't own the set. It's not like I'm short selling it.
I like posting because it's instant action from all sides.
