Notwithstanding posts to the contrary; invest in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, an education, home, real estate, buy land and plant hardwood saplings... those are reasonable investments. Ball cards; one is merely justifying overspending on a passion by mislabeling the passion. This topic shows up every 6 to 8 months. I think it was Vin Scully who said something along the lines of how a drunk uses a lamp post for support, not illumination. Until the 'investors' see the light, they'll continue to lean on their faulty, wishful reasoning.
