Maybe it is because I keep an eye out constantly for caramel cards but it seems like tobacco cards are flipped or re-sold much more frequently than caramels.
When I mentioned "hoarding" I didn't mean stocking up with the intention of re-selling when the economy turns, I meant that they were being purchased for collections not for re-sale. I guess I didn't make myself clear, so 2 and 3 are similar.

Tbob, are you saying that there could be some COLLECTORS involved?
Heavens to Betsy, what is this hobby coming to?
