Should I be surprised that I can tell who posted an article based solely on the tone of the title and included text?

You'd be right if you weren't totally wrong. people collect old cars because of their beauty, power, etc. It is not a total function of nostalgia or vicarious vitality. For example, I am only 24 but I would really enjoy a 57 Chevy Bel-air or a 57 Thunderbird. My PARENTS weren't even born then.

And this whole thing about Magic cards... boy'o'boy. You're someone who used to play, became disenchanted (pun-not-intended), and quit. Well I hate to tell you this but magic is alive and well and the cards are worth a truck load. A beta Black louts goes for $300 - $500 dollars on a routine basis. Newer, chase rares can go for $15 - $30. And, even in a stagnate economy, you can make more money playing Magic professionally than you can being a freaking code monkey.

I'll let you return to whatever world you live in now.
