Some of us actually get great enjoyment from cards, and would never part with a favorite piece because of what it may cost in 10 years.

As to the monetary side of things, there are decades of history now that show the 52T Mantle appreciating in price over the long haul, peppered with occasional surges. So if I am betting, I am weighting that long history most, and deem it more likely to continue, rather than it breaking for what would be an unprecedented anomalous event.

I hope there are 1000s of collectors like you that would be GREAT for the hobby..but time will tell...if we see Mantles hitting the market that were bought a year or two ago we know those aren't collectors like you..

There was no shortage in the last Heritage auction.
