Where is the buzz around REA?

I don't collect cards because they're valuable. If the modern market would explode and the pre-war market would bottom out I would be the happiest collector in the country.

I understand your feeling.
But it is a double edge sword.
I am more a collector then an investor but I do flip some cards so I can either upgrade or add to my collection

Imagine going back to a time when you didn't need to flip anything and could just collect.

Unless you figure out a way to take them with you when you depart this realm, someone somewhere is going to be selling your collection to someone. I enjoy my collection a great deal and certainly hope I or my heirs can sell it all someday and make a nice profit. Unless I want the cards loaded into my coffin I’m not sure what the alternative is.

A great deal of material available. I thought the story was that mom threw out all the cards. I guess a lot of mom's did not !

I agree with sensory overlook. Can't look at all the auctions etc. Just missed a Wolverine Cobb on Heritage. Didn't even receive an email etc from them.

Have you seen the Red Cobb back run coming up in the August Heritage? Some fantastic cards.

Wouldn't mind that either, at the end of the day, the closest I've gotten to selling would be flipping one of my cards to put the money towards another vintage card I want.

I'll occasionally buy a couple of packs of modern, just to have something to rip, and the moment I do, I say to myself "could've just put it towards something vintage"
