These cards are much more like stocks/investment vehicles at this point.
You see, this is why I can't have anything nice - I'm just not that type of collector. If I had a ridiculously high grade '52 Mantle or an M101 Ruth, it would live in my closet and likely come to work with me a few times each week just so I could look at it more often. I can't fathom the idea of paying for a card in a "vault" somewhere that I would maybe literally never even get to hold in my hand. Lucky for me I guess that I have a very limited budget and taste for mid-low grade postwar...LOL.
