I remember the baseball card pandemonium, in the 90's where even kids were buying up "rare" rookie cards to flip at a profit.

However, please be careful about mixing "collection" with "investment". Based on the history of collectables, you don't want to end up with multiple sets that are worth a lot less than your purchase price. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion, you're mileage may vary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
