>I have become comfortably numb

I think you have to become this way if you are to 
stay in cel collecting. You can't get too worked 
up over cel auctions, rising cel prices, people 
buying up a lot of the same type of cels you've 
been looking for or stupid people saying stupid 
things about your cel collecting habits. 

If you get too worked up it's time to leave the 
hobby....although a few people are doing that 
already.
