Scott GrossIMO vintage cards are an investment (for all the reasons so stated in this thread). And as also stated before, a fun investment. I wish I had all (well most) of the money I messed around in the stock market (win and/or lose) to put in cards and other investments that I enjoyed. I have bought and redeveloped three fixer-upper houses. I loved ripping out walls, working with architects and contractors, and all the DIY projects. Broke even on one, made a few bucks on another, and the value of the one I live in now is almost obscene (relative to me).
I'd much rather look at my cards and know the approximate value, that look up stock symbols and know the exact value.
Oh, and the next time some whiner comes on this site and starts bad mouthing us "losers," have them read this thread and realize the pure intelligence of our members. I wish I could be so eloquent.
And: Privatize everything !!!!
