So far, for me, home prices have continued to rise since my initial purchase in 1970; sometimes more so than others. I could have (and did) sell my home at any point in this appreciation. When I chose to not sell, I had a real value in the house. So real that a bank would loan me money against the value, eventhough I put in no where near that value.

Same for cards, bullion,and anything else which you buy. I wonder how liquid banks consider a card collection to be.
