I only buy cards that I like. I absolutely love my collection, and look through it for fun on the regular. But, if I spend thousands on a card, I'd prefer that it retain its value. I would personally rather not dump a ton of money into something that's going to go to zero. I don't think that means I can't call myself a collector.

My only financial goal with my card investments is to beat the ROI of the professional money manager my wife and I hired.

It makes me laugh hearing about all these corps and other businesses posting record breaking sales and profits. Something like 40% of all money wasn't in circulation two years ago. All markets are swole and and at peak, what comes next is where it gets interesting!

Never understood why people are concerned with the motivations of other buyers. I watch this NFT stuff with a mixture of bemused confusion and laughter, but it's not my money they are
I sold one card this year at a huge profit, and it probably paid for the 10-12 nice photos I bought over the years that cover my office walls. Nothing wrong with that. Last edited by Snapolit1; 12-22-2021 at 12:00 PM.

Sadly when people get burned, they wont return to the hobby. Much like in the late 80s. Whether it's deserving or not is debatable
