[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 5243816, member: 76863"]No it hasn’t. The hobby for decades and decades has been the price is basically what you want to make it. You can get cheaper coins or spend a lot and go for the best. You could also be collecting coins from today that in the future will be classics like mercz and slqs and walkers who at one point where just spending money. The cream of the crop costs money, coin collecting has always been a hobby that costs money. I’d ask again would you be willing to let people get late 1980s prices for your company? If not why and why should anything else be different? The point I’m making is that prices go up and saying something is overpriced because it isn’t the same price as 3-4 decades ago is selection bias. If you raised your prices in that time why can’t coins as well? I’m just being harsh because everything is more expensive now. There shouldn’t be some magical freeze from nostalgia on anything. Ps midish 80s coin prices was the worst time[/QUOTE]
