“The mindset of making collectables runs against that of making games—if you succeed in the collectable department then there is a tendency to keep new players out and to drive old ones away because of escalating prices.”
“If you invest in collectables overseas, you can make a profit or loss on currency exchange rates as well as a gain or loss on movements in intrinsic capital value.”
