The next year a card from a pack hit $120 and there were neighborhood millionaires!
I was just a working class stiff with a top card of $15 and the guy with the 86 Donruss Jose Canseco was the man.
I honestly think this experience was awesome because it exposed me to money and that it can grow.
The investment aspect of cards has always been there and always will be. I am happy when I hear about hobbyists that have had great success buying cards that have performed well. We all hope when we buy cards that they will go up. Even just a little.
