Who buys those cards on ebay for $500+ dollars.

Who are these people that pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a card. I just don't see really rich people being card collectors. Really rich people have better things to do with their time and money then to collect cards. What am I missing?

Who buys a Bugatti Veyron? And why are they sold out?

Rich people cant be collectors of cards? Wow I never knew it was a poor people's hobby

Many wealthy people have nothing but time on their hands. I know many wealthy people who spend tens of thousans of dollard on art/cars/collectibles just because they like spending money on a hobby!

You're missing reality...

RICH people are collectors of many things.....ART, CARS, WOMEN and certainly CARDS. who else would pay 2.8m for a WAGNER....

You have NO IDEA the amount of money a person would spend on antique furniture. A chair that is so fragile, you couldn't even sit in it. But the buyer must have it because it looks so fabulous. Mind you, that chair probably costs a few grand.

i spend like 2270 for the card in my avatar and i spend 1800 on another one i have.. all the cards i have i spend 500 + AND IM NOT RICH now imagine somebody with serious cash

[greenjeff98]

that was probably the best assumption ever

[grugmurphy]

everybody needs a hobby. and those with money buy the best and rarest

[RGM81]

There are many people in this hobby, and on this very board, for whom dropping $500 on a card is no bigger an issue than me spending $10 on a card I want. It is truly no object, or at least not a major one.
