So true about CP per dollar price going down. That's how I managed to snap up 15k worth of CP for cheap the last 2 weeks.
For me, I see this as an opportunity to beef up my collection. As you said, there's the Wild Format with higher CP requirements and future utility like for Land, so it's not like CP won't be of any use after the airdrops.
Here's to hoping I can get some more cards before prices go up again. 😁
