Default Taxes

I have always understood it this way.

Paid 15k for a card. Sold the card for 20k. Income tax is paid on the 5k profit.

Paid 1k for a card. Sold the card for $20k. Income tax is paid on the 19k profit.

Different rules may apply in different states. Where I live the income tax is about 25% of the profit I think.
