No way was I going to pay that.  Instead I bought the over-produced Donruss cards, which are worth less than dirt now (and probably resealed wax packs). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The problem with baseball cards was always that the bid/ask spread was like 50%!  Anyhow, good memories.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Honestly, I know next to nothing about coin collecting myself.  Did those state quarters appreciate faster than inflation?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jonathan</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2007 02:26:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: How to Make Money With John Adams Presidential Dollar Coins</title><link>http://consumerismcommentary.disqus.com/how_to_make_money_with_john_adams_presidential_dollar_coins/#comment-21306997</link><description>This reminds me of baseball cards.

This is for your existing account, and hasn't changed the actual intro offers yet on most Citi cards.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, you can choose to simply decline the change in terms and your current agreement will stay in place for 1 year.  After that, they'll close your card.  But if you just wanted the intro offer, you'll still get all of it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jonathan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 Mar 2007 02:29:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Income Taxes: Done and Over With</title><link>http://consumerismcommentary.disqus.com/income_taxes_done_and_over_with/#comment-21305870</link><description>I'm jealous!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I haven't even gotten around to filing my extension yet.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jonathan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 Mar 2007 03:04:02 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wachovia to Start Charging for Direct Access to Quicken</title><link>http://consumerismcommentary.disqus.com/wachovia_to_start_charging_for_direct_access_to_quicken/#comment-21305213</link><description>I'm with THC.

In my calculations, even if I keep the same tax bracket as now, I'm ahead with a Roth.  Of course these are based on assumptions, but so are theirs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think one main difference is just pyschological.
