Peter,
I'm with you, but you know there will always be some people that will just want to be able to say they owned at least a piece of this card or that card at one time. Look how people on this forum often say they once owned this or that card or item that is being shown or talked about. Nothing wrong with that at all, but it does show those people most likely had some pride or satisfaction in once owning a particular card or item, and can still derive some pleasure or satisfaction, and even a connection, in being able to share that ownership experience with others.
Now are the majority of people doing something like this probably out there for the money, heck yeah! But it doesn't necessarily mean they all are, is all I'm thinking.
