That's perfectly fine, but my point was that if investors who don't collect are buying cards to sell to other investors who don't collect, that's not the bedrock for a solid market. People are of course free to do whatever they want, I'm just suggesting that it's the real long term collectors who make the hobby what it is. Speculators on the other hand create the bubble economy. You're confusing what we are free to do versus what is prudent to do.
