Hey, I hope they all do away with factory sets. I never liked them - I always
thought they were sort of cheating. :-) Even buying by the box takes a
little fun out of it.

I love collecting (with a sprinkle of investing/etc), but I don't take it
all too seriously, myself. If it ever loses it's fun with me, then I'll stop.
I believe that being in it to "make a killing" would take the fun out of it.

| It seems like we no longer see stuff that comes out which is way over
suggested retail prices. I remember when SkyBox basketball first came
out it was close to 80$ if you wanted it. Pacific Trading Football
was close to 40$. Now when something new comes out, the price may be
a little bit higher, but it seems to drop fast and it's not hard to
get. It pays to wait now. People have been burned a lot and there's
only so much BS dealers can feed you. People get tired of hearing the
same old line about scarcity, great investments and so forth. Maybe
the investors are finally getting out. Who knows, maybe prices may
come down a little in the future.

| In the "no more" department, did I hear/read that there will be
no more Bowman cards?

Don't think so on the Bowman, maybe next year, but this year's
Bowman baseball is supposed to be coming out soon, stadium like
cards with distribution supposedly limited to only direct dealers.
No retail, no wharehouse/wholesale distribution. I'm sure we'll
hear how limited they are.
