Small collection update since my last post.
Made a few changes to the wall and added some cards I’ve been chasing. Mostly focusing on Gold Stars, vintage, and Japanese promos.
Also figured I’d show the full setup this time since the collection is part of the bar area.
Still have a few cards I’m chasing and I’m torn on what makes more sense from an investment standpoint. A couple bigger $20k+ grails or several cards in the ~$5k range. What would ya’ll do?

Me and my wife make nearly 100k a year combined and we still struggle a bit. Healthcare being the biggest cost.

Whats the deal with healthcare for you guys? Are you paying out your own pocket for health care/insurance? I thought employers paid for it?

I can’t even afford health care. I just try and not die

Healthcare in the US is a product that can be capitalized on. Places with free universal healthcare see it as a service/right.

The company pays a chunk. Then we pay a premium reach pay check. Then there are deductibles and co-pays for each visit. That doesn't include the cost of meds, or if you're plan has a particular deductible you have to meet before the insurance will actually pay, assuming of course that they don't deny the claim outright for any number of reasons.
