From my admittedly myopic view:

If they primarily collect cards, they generally enjoy participating in a hobby/community. Many of these people have been collecting cards for years. The value of their collection has likely grown considerably over the past 18 months.

If they primarily collect money, they generally couldn't care less about the hobby/community. Many of these people started buying/selling cards within the past 18 months. If they did so with the expectation prices would keep climbing, there's a chance they're not doing too well, financially speaking.
