Is being an investor something we must hide? I bet that price and appreciation potential is a factor in many of the selections which are made by collectors. And I similarly believe that many persons primarilly motivated by diversification of their portfolios to include the upside of baseball cards have an interest in viewing the cards, heck, some may even assemble one type in part because they like them due to asthetic reasons.

But in general, I agree, baseball card investors typically prefer minimizing the bulk of their holdings, while collectors feel that bulk is a good thing.
