Its the same in every collecting hobby im into now. Over the last few years its become a lot harder to collect games, vinyl, coins and watches. Its all driven by people who see it as an investment not a hobby. They are into it for the money and thats it. Its all about flipping and screwing over the next guy. People are looking for thge easy way out, a fast profit. The amount of reseller channels on youtube is insane and its only getting worse. Pokemon cards have gone crazy too. If your starting out today just collect the current gens atleast you can have fun and find uncommon stuff for 20 bucks and enjoy it
