You are absolutely correct, pre-war cards probably could preserve better value over time, since the supply is so much more limited. But this is not just about money, sometimes you go with your heart instead of your brain. All i can say is, since i won the card, i have been too excited to sleep more than 6 hours per day. I have been acting like a little kid who just open his Christmas gift and found out that the gift is something that he has been dreamed of.

The stock market is what it is and always has been. It's not too volatile for millions of investors and traders. The card market can be just as volatile if you invest in the wrong cards at the wrong time.
I have found the stock market to be an absolute joy the last 18 months. Alot of under valued stock were scooped up when there was a rush to sell. Like the card market, if you do your research, homework and don't let emotions get in the way of good business sense your portfolio could have risen by 40% over the same period. Not many cards turned that kind of return in the same time period.
