I can think of a number of cases where this is not the case. If you are an older guy who wants to have sugar babies they have to see it to believe it. You essentially have to throw chum in the water. One of the best tricks is to go to breastraunt and put the keys on the table.
You also cited another example about individuals that have been highlighted on American Greed. To pull off their schemes they must have the showy stuff to rope in their victims. I went to high school with two guys that their story was one of the cases on the show. The entourage of expensive cars and mind boggling spending at night clubs and sporting events sends a message of success and clouds people's judgement.
Neither of these two examples are particularly noble but are definitely not useless to the person doing it.
i suspect some may want them because they admired them when they were younger. they aren't necessarily every day drivers, nor are they over the top flashy.
other's may buy them pre-40 just to avoid the never-ending "mid-life crisis" stigma.
i mainly like late 60's muscle, but can see why someone would choose a db7 gta....

Imagine if Gatsby was a card collector. His wild parties would consist of opening packs of 1986 Fleer Basketball and throwing the commons on the floor, while doing the Charleston.

Welcome back Bob.
I think if you went into Twin Peaks and put this key on the table it might get some attention.
Maybe not as much as one with a horse on it though. LOL

that's because you're dealing w/ waitresses....i'm more of the palm kinda guy and would keep both sets of those keys w/ the valet!!! ; )
Some dialogue with another collector got me thinking about this thread. The part that makes calling this card market in my view nearly impossible is the higher the prices go the more people like the product. In 1969 the Ferrari GTO was a $2,500 car. In the 80's they were hundreds of thousands and then millions. Then tens of millions and a confirmed sale took place at $52 million.
I posted it once before. "The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes the more they want it."
If you get strong hands that actually want these high dollar cards. This could be a very real and powerful breakout. The other issue is the major financial market guy Jeffrey Gundlach who is the modern day bond king said several years ago that collectibles were a better place to invest money than stocks as they would be seen as a store of value and would rise rapidly as people lose faith in paper currencies. Sage advice at the moment for sure.

1.4 million right out of the gate.
A 5 million estimate. This will be fascinating to watch for sure.
