I agree there are some high profile cards in the "vailt"...but doesn't this reinforce the purpose of the vault???? A tax shelter for "investors" to buy and sell "investment" type cards through pwcc without ever really "owning" them.

These cards are much more like stocks/investment vehicles at this point.

Don't be surprised when The Vault gets relocated to Geneva and the return address is Venezuela

You see, this is why I can't have anything nice - I'm just not that type of collector. If I had a ridiculously high grade '52 Mantle or an M101 Ruth, it would live in my closet and likely come to work with me a few times each week just so I could look at it more often. I can't fathom the idea of paying for a card in a "vault" somewhere that I would maybe literally never even get to hold in my hand. Lucky for me I guess that I have a very limited budget and taste for mid-low grade postwar...LOL.

Investors who have no real emotional interest are buying up high end and placing them in vaults. Us collectors will never agree. But can we all just get along?
