<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 289120, member: 9167"]Trading cards lost any edge they had when the price to purchase them exceeded any price they could realize after just a short time. I used to collect. I had a card, number 4 or only 10 made of Payton Manning's rookie. It was worth over $700 at the time I found it. Two years later, it was a mere $175 value, so I sold it.

When I tire of them, I don't have to sell at a huge loss. It's still worth what I paid for it. This is why I don't buy from the mint. Why pay premiums on coins that are made in the billions that I can find anywhere for face value?</p><p> </p><p>Thats the difference between cards and coins, in my opinion.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
