Default Collector or Investor (or both) - Which are you?
Posted By: Bob

Definately a collector, reliving the joys of my childhood. I invest in real estate (my house), the market (401k, various funds) and even our educational system (3 kids and my wife headed for college). Cards to me ideally would be an escape from concerns about money. Hence I collect judiciously in the P-VG range.

What my cards are worth bring me no joy, it's the cards themselves that bring me joy. If I need to sell cards to finance my retirement, I've done something wrong.

Wouldn't bother me a bit if the prices of BB Cards plumeted, it might allow me to upgrade my Ruths/Cobbs/Gehrigs etc. Once everyone's through college I may upgrade anyway
