I love it...if you were on the Titanic and it was going down for the last time...you would probably be still sorting your cards. "

You're probably right. 
Slowly, but ever so slowly, you'll learn the difference between a sicko collector, and a disciple of Da - MARKet.
Your description of a market collector is perfect.
It has more to do with the stock market, than it does with a HOBBY.
Amigo, what you are failing to understand is that I got involved with cards to get away from the rat race of da MARKet.
I wanted to collect for the enjoyment of it, and strictly for the sublimation it gave me.
The last thing that I wanted was to make it part of my portfolio.

Peter, I once traded a T217 Mono for another Mono with Mr. Chericone, and this is gonna really knock your Market mindset off. ... I've never sold a card.
Boy am I sick. .... is there a doctor in the house.
Better yet, .. get me Dr. House.
About my bedroom, ..... wanna bet?
Back to the Titanic.
Can anyone tell me how I can keep my cards dry?
