It is similar to owning stocks and bonds these days. You buy what you want and look at it online in your Vault account. I personally have not held a stock certificate in over 20 years and have not held a bond in over 5 years. But I still have ownership of the stocks and bonds. Baseball cards are viewed as assets/investments now whether the "traditional" collector realizes or not. More and more "new" collectors view collecting this way. Whether they get burned or not in the long run well only time will tell...
