I'd call myself a collector-investor at this point. I would like to make cards a component of my retirement income, so I collect with an eye towards what I think will appreciate in the next 5-10 years and become the inventory of a part-time retail enterprise. Some stuff is just for s**ts and giggles though, like my boxing type set. I know that a $5 South African cheese-maker's card of a local club fighter isn't going to turn a profit unless I sell it to the guy's mom, but it is fun to have it in the African section of my album. What's crazy-fun to me is when the two worlds intersect, like when a card I bought years ago as a fun item I just wanted to have skyrockets in value.
