Personally I don't view my collecting as materialistic. I realize that if I take myself out of the equation then much of the stuff I buy would fall in value because there are not many collectors buying the same stuff I do. I've seen many of the Nebraska Indians items fall in value simply because I don't bid on it unless I don't have it. As far as mainstream cards go like N172 or Cracker Jacks I don't care much for high grade cards unless I can get them really cheap. It's more about filling a hole to me than getting the best of the best. I'm pretty sure that my collection will be passed down to my son...and if not it will probably go to the State Historical society so I am really not overly concerned with value.
