On another forum, I read a post where two member spoke about buying cards and withdrawing funds to purchase vintage cards that they wanted. One had being doing it for a while and said that “buying and holding vintage cards made more sense that investing in stocks”.

In a recent conversation with a dealer, he said that this was commonplace, especially in the last few years. Some buyers have had to delay card purchases due to having wait for the payout from funds.

Is this commonplace? I, personally, cannot fathom withdrawing funds from my retirement for card purchases, but maybe I am in the minority.
