Realize there will probably never been the liquid market for such things like what cards have. But for someone who just loves baseball so much these things just seem to pack a satisfying punch that I don't get anymore from putting cards in a plastic holder in my safe or safe deposit box.

I agree also. I still buy a few cards but have been mainly buying memorabilia for the last 2 years. The best part is memorabilia hasn't had that insane price gouging like cards over that time.
