It baffles me that people think "investing" in anything like this is EVER a safe bet. And that's coming from someone that has boughtered some tf2 hats I thought were neat in the past. Some went up in value since and others went down, but I don't give a shit as I got them because I WANTED them and still use them.
Makes me wonder if Valve will semi-slutsquat to knife speculators for forgiveness like they did with the "crate depression" hats in tf2, keep me posted.
