Posted By: <b>J. McMurry</b><p> Well, if the press is following this thread, they've probably dismissed it's credibility now as it seems to have turned into a comical B-Slap fest.<br /><br />One point. I've heard several mentions of people collecting autographs to pay for college, weddings, etc.<br /> If the only reason you collect is as an investment to hit the "mother load" down the road,then I dont feel much sympathy toward your losses, I'm sorry I just dont. If your looking for money making investments stick to the stock market or buy gold, real estate. People jumping into this hobby buying up stuff as an investment just muddy up the waters, by inflating prices and making crooks rich which erodes the enjoyment out of it for the true collectors. Personally I collect both cards and autographs because they are a link to things that I enjoy; sports, history, and memories from my childhood. <br /><br />Now, back to the name calling jamboree.
