I don't understand the concept of owning a card that you do not have in your possession. In that case it is solely an investment. Nothing wrong with that, as vintage cards have paid nice dividends over the years, but I couldn't really call it collecting.

If somebody offered me a 2% share in a Honus Wagner I might do it because I believe the card will increase in value, but it would be hard for me to have any pride in owning a tiny piece of a card that I will never see.
