    - how the bear market affects the hobby collecting world
    - how to think about your collectibles if you're purchasing them as investment assets
    - if you have cash, what you should do with it during this buyer's market
    - if you don't have cash, what you should do during this buyer's market
    - whether or not you should sell during this time
    - whether or not you should buy during this time
