“Wall Street types” — Like stocks, card values fluctuate over time. Wall Street types see trading cards as tangible stocks. They put in time to research value trends and are always looking to buy low and sell high. Like the quick flippers, Wall Street types are in the hobby for the money, but they deal in larger sums and seem to find enjoyment in the ride.
