CNN card story

Garth: with the exception of a few issues of a few fighters that have gone nuts, there has been modest but not startling price increases. That said, the supply of many older issues, especially from the 19th century, has diminished dramatically. People just are not selling.

Dean: if it was just about money, I would agree, but it isn't, at least not yet for me. As I said, though, it might get too good not to sell out. If I could take the post-tax proceeds and tell the fine folks at Wells Fargo to shove their mortgage up their corporate oubliette, well, that would be another story.

The nice thing is that sleazy, scummy Wall Street banksters sticking their blood funnels into the hobby would actually be a step up from the usual collection of con-men, frauds and thieves we are used to dealing with.
