I kind of hope they do then I will have a reason to save money and I would be out of card collecting and save the money for better things.

Wolfer,

Wasn't it you that had that $5Million Brady card last week? I think you should stay in the card market. :)

Man...I'll say it again, if you're in the card market but don't enjoy collecting cards, how in the he!! do you do it?

You have to enjoy it to be able to suffer/withstand the losses that go along with everything else.

Personally, I will ALWAYS be in the card market to some extent because I'm a sports fan, I'm a collector, and more importantly - I'm a card collector.

If I was not all 3 of those, I'd definitely find a different hobby.

I'm that too...but give me some Crazy 4 Poker in Vegas instead of ripping cards!! If I wasn't into cards, I'd be saving every penny I blow on 'em and going each year to Vegas with many, many c-notes in my pocket to play some CRAZY 4!!!

Did you ever hit it Big in Crazy 4's?

Hit a straight flush last time in Vegas - and of course the periodic 3 of a kind. One time I had 3 aces in my first 3 cards - got a little excited about a possible 200 to 1 (considering I had 100 on the Kings Plus), but didn't hit the 4th. Pretty exciting, though. I do think I've come out ahead over the long haul - but know that's "not the Vegas plan". Regardless, it is SO MUCH more fun than 3-card and blackjack.

It's like the guy who claims to always hit the big cards and make money on every case they open (doesn't happen) - I have the in-law who always wins money on Slots. SLOTS, for goodness sakes. You can't WIN on slots over the long haul - period!!
