<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 5226686, member: 42034&quot;]Who buys the initial cards though?&nbsp; This one was autographed so it apparently was some sort of special release.&nbsp; Do kids come up to Mr. Trout after the game and get him to sign their cards?&nbsp; Or does some business entity give him a box of 1,000 cards to sign which are then released only to investors?&nbsp; If option #2 is the case then this sounds like manufactured rarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>But aside from cards what I was curious about was the impact of this boom on rare coinage?&nbsp; I&#039;ve noticed rampant grade inflation on dates of Bust half dollars that I was trying to buy in the ms range.&nbsp; When I go to the Heritage website I don&#039;t see coin pictures on their splash page; I see pictures of certified baseball/ football cards.&nbsp; I wanted to know what does this portend for numismatics?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
