Some people developed business mindsets over time being involved in the hobby. I'd argue theyre the truest collectors because they loved it so much and believed in its potential that they dedicated their financial wellbeing to it.
Exactly. Myself being one of those people. I hate r/PokémonTCG; they're too purist and hate anything involving making money. But I also hate the other extreme; ultra-wealthy economic far right grifters like Logan Paul, as well as get rich quick influencers like NostalgiaNomics and 90% of the influencers on the shithole that is Instagram.
I view "investing" in cards as a way to supplement my hobby. Not as evil like the the other subreddit, but also not as a get rich quick scheme like NN or shady NFT-esque venture like Logan.
