MVSNYC"it's basically a hedge fund"...
NOT at all Matt...i actually know nothing about finance, i'm a designer.
i have collected Vintage for about 20 years, and have owned 100's & 100's of cards...2 years ago i decided to sell almost all of it, and focus on quality...rare backs, tuff variations, super high-grade, etc...a few dozen cards, give or take. a few fellow collectors i know adopt a type of collecting that focuses on quality and limits the number of cards you own (you make up the number yourself, it's actually quite random)...but the idea is that you try to keep it to that number. some people even take it a step further and if they acquire 2 new pieces, they'd force themselves to sell 2 pieces...so this process makes you keep the best of the best...makes for an extremely well fleshed-out and "tight" collection.
brian- steak & beer sounds awesome...i have a 9:15pm reservation at the Waverly Inn, in the west village...impossible to get a table, but i won them over with my charm
