DJI'm with Barry on this one. When it comes to Stocks, you know (and knew) there was going to be a burst in the bubble. Internet companies who weren't making a profit were going up 10 percent each day. Companies like Corning, CMGI, JDS Uniphase and such. We knew they were bursting because we saw the Stock ticker and the down arrows and the amount we could not cash them in for were a lot lower. How would we know that the Bubble would burst? Would every one be notified at once? Would every one start selling on a day instead of buying and those Cocoa cards will suddenly find themselves on the B/S/T thread? Cards increase in value. There's no question about that and the history shows it. The Robert Harmon left ear variation booked at $30 in 1981 and in 1991, $250. Are we to think that card will be worth $30K in ten years? But what you are seeing here is pure madness --I believe. Slabbings, Registries, EBay and the $$$ Potential has caused so much interest that it simply can't continue.
