Default There's No CardBoard Like Old Cardboard

<<Plenty of people made tons of money on modern cards; they just had to time it right. It was pure casino capitalism, the poor man's penny stocks.>>

I was smart when I sold my Frank Thomas rookie cards for a couple dollars a piece, after buying them for $.50 each. (No such luck on Marquis Grissom.)

I also sold a rare Travis Lee insert, limited to 100, in 1998 for $100 over the Internet -- before I had ever even heard of ebay. It really is all about timing, opportunity and luck.
