Yep, it's true. The CAD dollar sucks major balls right now. What that means to me is being more selective and only going after pins I really want. In the end, if I pay a few hundred more than I'll get back when I go to sell the pin, I'm ok with that as I got to enjoy it.
As Frolic pointed out, historically our dollar has always been sub-par to the USD.....time to get used to it folks, or get out of the hobby....or just be happy with your collection the way it is unfortunately.
