This inequity is as big a threat to our system as the political wars being waged in Washington. And what do the ultra rich buy with their seeming unlimited wealth. Toys; massive estates, mega yachts, Ferraris, the best fashions, security. So why not a few top line cards of the Babe, Tyrus and Joe Jax? If sports cards becomes a new acceptable asset diversification it will please us to see cards we hold increase in value because of high prices but may close off many acquisition opportunities

I am no socialist, but yes, the wealth gap as it increases is in my opinion something that could have catastrophic consequences eventually. To quote William Blake, and again I am no socialist,
A dog starv'd at his master's gate
Predicts the ruin of the state
