Card sells for $316 on ebay and then ten days later it's listed on ebay for more than 4x the purchase price.

It isn't a hobby, you are quite right. It is a very selective club, clique if you will, of very well-heeled investors and speculators, who can't wait to post their latest multi-thousand-dollar card pick-up and pat themselves, and others in the clique, on the back in congratulations. Every now and then some discussion or forum threads come along that seem hobby related. But in reality the hobby is long gone.
