Default How Long Before Hedge Funds Control The Rare Card Market?

Posted By: Fred C

Good one Al...

If someone did try to make a hedge fund worth $$$$$ then I suspect you'd see the best card doctors come out and put the graders to the test. I would be willing to bet that someone could invest 100 hours in time to fix a card. At $100 an hour that's $10K. Why not invest $10K to make a $25K card look like a $100K card. That's a great return on an investment. I'd just hate to think what some greedy a$$holes would do just to make a buck. We've seen some pretty unscrupolous butt heads work the system, now assign the million dollar price tag to our cards/hobby and the a$$holes will come out of the wood work. It makes me sick to think about it.
