<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1354632, member: 34005&quot;]Yup, look at sports cards as an example. What was once a true hobby in my opinion was killed off by the inflation of professional grade cards that turned a kids hobby into a adult only business. Now other factors were involved I think as I collected when I was younger, around the mid 90s I stopped, when the card companies started catering more to adults with chase special insert cards and cards being professionally graded. I simply couldn&#039;t afford graded cards and well, the packs went from 15-20 cards at 50 cents to 4-8 cards at $2.00 or more. But overall, in my opinion, the professional grading of the cards is what primarily led it from a hobby to more business about making money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
