Not a whole lot different than someone who grew up in the 60s and played with baseball cards and now has major disposable income will pay $500,000 to collect a Mickey Mantle card.

Except that the guys here are saying nobody was actually collecting Pokemon at Philly, the crowd was there to speculate in those and everything else. That strikes me as different from the proven staying power and cross-generational appeal so far of baseball cards, although who knows if that will maintain or for how long?
