Bubble or no bubble, I think we all enjoy discussing the trends in the market. There are still A LOT of cards you can buy on the cheap. There are A LOT of cards you can blow your net worth on. I've been picking up some of the Topps silver pack promos from 17-20 and turkey red inserts. They look awesome in binders. Also been picking up some cheap vintage. Eddie Mathews cards are decisively not showing the signs of a bubble.

This thread is full of chest-thumpers who insist any mention of a bubble is absurd.

Since you just joined last month, you missed all the fun we had dating back to April where certain individuals swore up and down it was all a bubble and would come crashing back down. And they continued to do so for months and months and months. And here we are with new bubble bois joining every day. New day, same story.

As far as mortgaging my house, maxing out my credit cards, and liquidating my retirement accounts. No thank you. I know how to separate the hobby that I enjoy from the core of my livelihood.

Yes, the real estate bubble took a lot longer to pop than a lot of people expected. That doesn't mean there wasn't a real estate bubble.

This place seems to have a lot of people who refuse to put their money where their mouths are.

You could lose your real "livelihood" tomorrow. If you really believe the bubble talk is stupid, then you're passing up free money by not literally betting the house and betting your retirement.

Joe, why do you care?

This is the most ludicrous comment I have ever read here.. that says a lot.

Translation: I'm too dumb to refute it.

If someone told you the stock market was guaranteed to keep going up but that person refused to put as much of his own money as possible into the stock market, you'd rightfully consider that person a shill or a moron. But that's what person after person here has been doing.

If someone believes there is a bubble... what strategy should folks take and “bet the house and retirement”?

How does that strategy change if they believe the bubble will pop this fall? What if they generally think it might occur in the next 2-3 years?

Nah, he is just seething with jealousy and expresses it with a genuine, deep-seated schadenfreude. He desperately wants this bubble to burst on people. Truly loathsome.

It's either a wink, or a mini stroke.

If you like to run red lights... do you keep doing it because you can’t point out which day you will get in an accident?

The end is nigh. And whatnot.

The strategy is to not buy. Sports cards can't be shorted.

And you can't put a date on the peak, genius.

I’m not sure how to bet the house / retirement by not buying
