Peter- if you wish to collect baseball cards with an eye on their investment potential, I don't think you have to apologize to anyone.

"Investment" is treated as a taboo word around here but the fact is cards have appreciated tremendously over the past five years. If you make some money and have some fun with it along the way, it's nobody's business.

There have been numerous people on the board who have said they would love to see the market collapse so that they could buy many of the cards they can't afford today. I am one of those who feel a market collapse would be a bad thing. Nothing wrong with a little stability and less volatility, but a collapse could put me out of business and add tremendous stress to the lives of many collectors.
