<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boompa, post: 921415, member: 25854&quot;]Same reason people pay ridiculous prices for contemporary baseball cards I suppose. This is their chance to get an &quot;MS70 1909 T206 Honus Wagner&quot; baseball card. But of course it&#039;s not really worth the price of the cardboard it&#039;s printed on with millions printed and nearly every single one hoarded for &quot;someday&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason old baseball cards are worth so much is because NOBODY hoarded them back in the day. 99.99% were thrown out by moms, clothespinned to bicycle spokes or otherwise thrown away. Very few remain today; hence the intrinsic value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Or look at all of the bazillions of postage stamps pumped out over the past 50 years. Most are worth face value for use as postage- and that&#039;s about all. Yet many are housed in expensive archival albums, etc. But there were simply far too many of them printed and saved to ever be worth much. </p><p><br /></p><p>My .02 as a forum noob who has been around &quot;collecting&quot; for 50+ years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
