I am sure we've all bought cards because we liked them, not necessarily because we thought they were a great investment.

This reminds me of a T-shirt I once got as a gift, as an avid golfer. It was a picture of a Herman cartoon Two guys are holding golf clubs, while a single guy in the background is carrying a fishing rod.
The one "Herman" golfer says to the other "Can you imagine some idiot getting up at this time of the morning just to go fishing?"

But that certainly is a lot for really any card. It is fun to follow these auctions and often see them just explode right before the hammer

On a comparatively trivial scale, I've done it a number of times myself, paid stupid money for a card I'd been looking for for years and could not be sure another one would come along. Mostly on the nonsports side where there really is a good chance you may never see a particular card again.

I think it’s crazy that people treat baseball cards as an investment. I expense every card I buy. When I croak whoever gets them will find out whether they appreciated or depreciated.

I'd definitely fish it out of a dollar box...
