"Capital Gains Tax on Collectibles

If you want to become a codehead, I encourage you to dig into IRC Section 1(h), and 1(h)(4) in particular (collectibles 28% rate), contrasted with 1(h)(1), which is the general capital gains treatment.

The crux of the matter is that collectibles are subject to their own tax rate, and don't qualify for the general capital gains tax rate.
The IRS and Congress didn't get the memo that cards are now "assets."
