[QUOTE="digibyte, post: 1762893, member: 56443"]I ate them all! As far as any collectable you may be lucky enough to make a profit at one time or another, but over all there are much better investments.

Of course you MUST be knowledgeable about what you are buying or selling if you have any hope of making a profit.
