Al CrisafulliI understand that, Jay, but I also think that with any business that sells things, a certain level of responsibility lies with the consumer to make educated decisions about how they spend their money.
I have a cousin who just destroyed an entire storage locker full of rookie cards he bought as "investments" in the 80s - thousands of Kevin Seitzer and Gregg Jeffries cards, all burned in a big Long Island bonfire. I see very little difference, other than the fact that my cousin actually had possession of the cardboard, and that it was absolutely worthless.
Given a choice between buying a thousand Robinson Cano rookie cards and a fraction of a PSA 8 Ruth, if there were no other choices and someone was holding a gun to my head, I'd pick the Ruth.
I think.
