I also looked at the consignment costs. When you are looking at an $80 card that is $10 plus 10% (IIRC), that is $18 or 22.5%.

Not only are we not reinvesting dividends. Not only are we going to the worst possible moment to the market for point of comparison and not only are we looking at a non-sustainable run up through price manipulation that is responsible for the majority of the delta (and is showing that it is on the way back down) - and outside of the top 100 it is a wash - we don’t take into account the 20% juice off of the top that is no where close in the equities market.

I’ll stick to collecting for fun and investing in the market for wealth generation.
