I only read part of the post so I'm assuming that a "shair" must be a measure of MSG (isn't that the Chinese food preservative that's not supposed to be good for us?)...
I just saw a post on page 3 I'd like to comment on. It was Bill making the observation that a lot of cards haven't really seen much appreciation since 2007 (something like that, Bill - If I misinterpreted this, I apologize). I have to agree with Bill because I really haven't seen much appreciation or card value rises (overall) for the hobby since about that time. Like I mentioned before, if there was supposed to be a great "appreciation" in asset value then I would think it would be occurring now with the QE-$$$ hitting the economy. I don't see it (thank goodness)....
