Jeff LichtmanFred, why can't cards be both?
I buy only cards I like and I pass on cards that could be thought of as giving me the possibility of a greater return on investment over time. So, if I'm an investor I'm a lousy one at that when it comes to cards. But in the end the money I'm putting into cards will come back to me and possibly bring large returns -- so why can't I at last have an investment vehicle that gives me pleasure, much like real estate? These are not mutually exclusive concepts as any time you drop large numbers into a collectible it becomes part of your net worth, whether you perceive it to be that way or not.
