Everybody who doesn't collect cards has this derogatory view towards cards as though tomorrow they won't be worth anything. You could spend $2,000 on a rare coin yet that's perfectly okay. They're a good investment, right? They may or may not be. But spending $2,000 on a baseball card? Foolish. They're a fad......a 100+ year fad..... I would suppose a lot of this is because baseball cards used to be pretty much worthless.
