Does the stock market affect card prices?

there almost may be an inverse relationship between the stock market and the vintage bb card market...as I feel more confident "investing" in bb cards than stocks.

Wynn Resorts is up almost 9% today. Everything is fine.

I have been pondering this for awhile and I think that when I was younger and VERY anxious about the stock market, it did affect my spending.

Now that I am older, I will buy a bit more Sportscards or Memorabilia in times of uncertainty (in addition to gold and silver) as the market is too up and down for me to invest that heavily.

When I spend on stuff I like, the intrinsic value is a big boost. You do not get that in the stock market!

Peace, Mike
