All these tax loving, Gov't worshippers responding are approaching it from the business angle. I assume many of them sell cards for a living. That's fine. They should pay their taxes. What about the collector?
What this does is it takes something that was a fun hobby and turns it into a business for everyone. I buy and sell cards all the time. Sometimes I'll buy a card and then turn around and sell it a few months later because my interests change, I find an upgrade or I just want the money for something else. Many different reasons. How many collectors have an accountant to keep track of their baseball card purchases?
