One more way to ruin the hobby - fractional ownership

How many generations is someone really willing to follow the card around for and wait for it to be sold?

I would think they may have to put a time limit on ownership where it has to be sold to avoid generations of families having to deal with following the card(s) around...

Bigger question is what if they drop a million or two on a card that later on is found to be altered, conserved or Moserized???

Who takes that hit?

I don't know....how can you really gauge when the best time to sell the card will be? If you put a time limit on the sale you might be setting yourself up for a loss due to forced sale at the wrong time.

It doesn't work, as demonstrated by the Simpsons episode that gave rise to my user name:

That's the beauty of it. You only take a fractional hit!
