Default vintage cards recession proof?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

What I've set out below is my personal perception, and may well not be reality, so please don't take offense....


A CARD COLLECTOR's only concern about the price of a card is how it will affect his buying. He focuses on the expected costs of the cards he lacks. He rarely gets caught up in the current value of the cards he has.

A CARD SPECULATOR focuses on the value of a card based on what other folks are paying, in hopes that he could sell his card for that or more. He cares not about the value of cards he lacks. And it doesn't matter all that much who the player is, or which set the card is from, it is all about the potential sale value.

A CARD INVESTOR is delusional.
