thank GAWD I already have a lot of the cards for my 93-94 cube. Just noticed Jayemdae Tome rose to the $300 mark recently. Wtf is happening? Is Magic about to implode altogether?

Old School MTG or 93/94. Has risen in popularity. A format where even someone such as myself who owns enough cards to play that format won't because everyone wants to be as exclusive as possible.
It really sucks for people who are playing for actual nostalgia, like me. I started in 93-94 and played with my big brother and I loved what magic was. I remember the days of 5000ct boxes full of A/B, LG, DK, AN, AQ, etc to pick from for $0.10 each and I remember those sets on the shelves for people to pick through and choose boosters. I want to return to a small portion of those days with my nostalgia cube, but these nerf herders are jacking up prices for formats they'll forget in a year.
I think I'm going to be a little more judicious in choosing versions for this old cube...original set if reasonable, CE if ungodly high or otherwise white-bordered. Forget value, I want fun.
I started building 93/94 earlier this year. I came in during Revised originally, so I actually don't mind white bordered and that has helped limit prices, but everything else is original edition. I'm in the middle of Arabian Nights right now. I got the biggies that I wanted (LoA, Juzam and S. Efreet) but, man, prices are out of control for the rest of that set and many of them are impossible to find in NM. 93/94 is probably not the way to go to save money at the moment. But man is it fun.

Wow I just checked the price on AN Serendib Efreet. Just cut that card from my cube too.
That's definitely true and it doesn't help that some people hoard random old cards for no reason. I remember at some point Earthbind was like $50 or something because someone was boggarting all the copies.
