People often try and compare cards to stocks. It's not an apples to apples comparison. Perhaps it comes closest to being such a pure comparison for someone interested in a mercenary sale of any given card for sheer profit. But I'd venture that usually those seeking to own a card like a 52 Mantle have some genuine affinity for it on a sentimental, aesthetic, or collector level. Each card is a discrete entity with its own appealing or unappealing characteristics. There is a daily enjoyment and pride of ownership. A stock or other traditional investment tool just is not the same in those respects. I have never looked at stocks or bonds the way I look at cards or a painting or a rare book. Just intrinsically such different animals, though all can be worth money.
