Yes... i do...

Some follow up questions:
- How did you get started in the card business and when? I owed the IRS about 4k one year and decided to sell some of my collection..

- In your opinion, what are the keys to having a successful card business?
not to sound to simplistic but you buy low and sell high.. or at least higher.. plus contacts.. you have to maintain a base of buyers.. also, an online store today makes more sense than a brick 'n mortar.

- What were the biggest obstacles in starting up your card business? attachments to your cards... in the beginning I had a hard time selling my cards.. after a while, it got earier.. plus finding cards at prices that will allow you to make a profit. That's easier to do in the NEW CARD market vs the vintage market.

- If you had it to do over again, would you choose to be in the card business or was there another field that you really had your heart set on? yes, i would.
