I have been slowly and steadily buying pre-War cards for pleasure (not with an investment motive) for 20-25 years. Yes, I realize that if I were to sell all the cards I bought over the last few years, I would incur a loss on many (perhaps most) of them. But, if I were to sell my entire collection, I fully believe (I've never tried to run any numbers) that I would realize a gain that is greater percentagewise than the than the gain in value of my house and the gain in value of my IRA investments over the same time period. I look at this as "having my cake, and eating it too!"
