Boy, if you thought there was a divide between the pre-war/post-war 'collectors' and the shiny-stuff 'investors' now, this will only widen that gap.

When you create demand by bringing more buyers into the market, that strengthens the price structure. I can't believe that this business model is good for the long run, especially when demand is driven by visions of ever-increasing returns. Sounds like the shiny, sports version of the Franklin Mint.

But maybe that's why I'm an engineer and not an economist or financial advisor.
