Hanging around high-end traders has broken my brain

I have now spent three weekends with a pod where every player also collects high-end cards. I have seen three Ancestral recalls and a Beta Lotus. I have seen someone casually trade a bunch of Revised dual-lands, someone buy a Beta Undegrground Sea and a Mishra's Workshop at one go, and a trade binder with nine Gaea's Cradles as the front page.

My brain is now broken.

I used to think of buying a Teferi's Protection or a Mana Drain as being a big splurge.

Now I have been destroyed, forced to my knees by the power of free market capitalism. City of Traitors? Pfft. That's mid. Grim Monolith? Doesn't everyone have a few?

I will never recover from this paradigm shift. Never.
