I’ve seen people here say that one cared about card values in the 80’s, that one one cared about card values in the 90’s… fifty years from now some guy here will write, “back when I was a kid collecting in 2023, we didn’t care about the value of the Victor Wembanyama Prizm walrus fur refractor #/19 card the breaker just pulled for us, we just collected for the love of it.”
People have always cared. It’s just more in your face now.
