Default Collecting vs Investing

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

In the mid-70s e-95s were $3-$5 each. E99s $6-$8 a piece, cracker jacks (either year) $4-$6 Walsh = $8.

t207swere $3-$5 with Livingston, Carrigan and Wagner variations = $10; Loudermilk = $100.

T227 baseball, $10 ea.; t206 Wagner >$1500., Plank $550., Demmitt $30. etc.

The Sports Collectors Bible, B.R.Sugar, 1975

Is this good? Is past performance indicative of that in the future? You gotta sell to make a profit, unless someone recognizes your item as viable collateral. And baseball cards are not there (if you are talking with a primary lending institution). Alternate lenders may consider your internal organs as sufficient collateral.
