AnonymousI have a rough idea of what I've got tied up in cards, but, all my purchases came from discretionary money. While I fully realize there is of course much value in what I have, those $$ are not looked upon as savings. I have investments which I do look upon as savings, but not my card collection.
I will say that I've got enough in cards to buy a new corvette Z06. Having owned two in the past, the itch does flare up from time to time, especially when I watch the Mecum Auctions on HDtheatre. I have no one to leave my collection to, and if I predecease my wife, she wouldn't know a PSA 1(OC) from a PSA 8 NQ, so, perhaps when the 60th anniversary corvette comes out in 2013 (assuming there is still a GM), I may well sell my collection and purchase a new corvette. Once upon a time long ago, I received a sweet phone call from an auto dealer..."Mr. X, your corvette is in". Ahhhhhhh, the joys of life!!
