Values on the rise for pre-war?

You're telling me that a card that can be bought in NM (or better) condition every single day on Ebay for $1 (plus what whatever for shipping) is worth and additional $2,400 because it is entombed in a plastic case saying it is a 10? Seriously? I get the four corners look better under a microscope, but you think you should pay a premium for that? You can't think of anything better to spend $2,400 on?

Everyday I wonder how I can be involved in a hobby where people are willing to spend their money like that.

Patrick, there have always been and will always be stupid, greedy people out there. If they ceased to exist I wouldn't have a job...Just remember that almost 50% of the American public is of below average intelligence, and they are allowed to vote, own guns, drive and procreate. And buy cards. Think of it this way: every time one of these fellows gets it in his mullet-topped head to open his fanny pack and spend the ciggie money on a PSA 10 card from the overjuiced, overproduced era, he is not putting his hand into the prewar cookie jar. We all can sit back and smirk at him and his 200# heifer-wife as they waddle down the aisle at the National in their jorts, but at least they aren't pissing in the prewar bidders pool.
