Right. Just like coins, comic books, paintings, sculptures, and a multitude of other antiques and collectibles!

Just like the doomsday preppers say "the crash is coming". Get prepared now by selling all your cards and buying gold and silver the currency of the future. I have been predicting this crash for decades and someday I will be correct.

But WHAT will they accept as tolls on the roads? I don't That was ever discussed

Well I learned the roads will be manned by Indians who accept silver for passage in the water cooler section. Educational thread that was!

I thought y'all said the farmers are going to accept 51 Bowman commons for the footpath toll.

Nope, farmers, here's the quote.

The book I read used silver for traveling purposes. The scenario is farmers turn portions of roads into toll roads. Silver would be used to pay toll fees. I live in WA. If something happened here, I would be close enough to try to make it to Canada.

And someone on the way to Canada would inevitably ask you what the futures of silver looked like. chortle.

Nope. It is a sign of how productive I am being today that I checked the thread.

#57: "If a collective of farmers want to fill that power vacuum, so be it. But in Eastern WA, there are enough small highways to get to Canada. We have a single lane highway that runs all the way from Spokane to Nelson, BC. That's the road I would need to take to flee. It would be controlled by someone; possibly even a Native American tribe because it runs through their reservation."

Both were used in the thread, and then you and I were both making fun of both options according to the transcript. Just have to get to page 2.

Right, as was posted here in recent memory, silver we be useful to pay gangs of farmers who take over the roads.

Howard, thanks for the reply. Point taken, although some coins and stamps could still have some utility value if they lost their value as collectibles.

Looks like you've been in the hobby for some time–what do you think about the belief some have that a certain "class" of cards will never go down in value? With a van Gogh or a Rodin, such seems more plausible than with a mass-produced item like a baseball card.
