Barry, I wonder if anyone who actually buys rare baseball cards does so as an investment only. There are so many investment vehicles and most are less speculative than rare cardboard -- you'd be hard pressed to find any financial advisor that would ever suggest in a serious manner that cards are a prudent part of any investment portfolio. That being said, clearly one can make plenty of dough investing in cards. In my mind, I have yet to meet a single person -- even among the most mercenary of dealers -- that was not initially drawn to cards due to their love of the game or hobby.
