But you'll walk around with the equivalent in stuff you've bought?

Ha! Good point.

Can picture myself walking back to hotel after a day at the National, having a guy pull a gun and demand money, and me offering him a selection of cards...unless he is willing to take a credit card, check or PayPal

I do not see a right or wrong here, just different preferences and comfort levels

Exactly! So one really can't fault a dealer either for not accepting CCs if that's beyond their comfort level.

If I were a dealer, I would probably accept CCs for smaller purchases, but no way for a $6K purchase.

Though I have no personal experience, I doubt that illegal drugs can be purchased with prewar baseball cards.
