I have never seen any reference in filing as to being an "investor" for cards, or coins or another genre. You are either in the business of buying and selling(legit entity) and file accordingly OR you pay the "collectibles" rate on any gains realized. How does one become an investor for tax purposes?? Which I presume would claim any gains at their appropriate capital gains rate based on their income level/AGI.
If that is an option, everyone in a low or no capital gains tier would claim they were investors and not collectors, thus avoiding the higher collectibles tax rate.
