davidcyclebackI am no precious metals expert and don't pretend to be one. However, I was once told the best way to invest in precious metals is not to buy the metal itself but to invest in good companies that produce them.
Of note, N173s have gold. Copper has gone up and T205s have copper. (Mostly a joke, as I don't image they have enough to invest metal-wise).
I had a baseball All-Star ring, and whether rational or irrational, I felt a bit longterm safer knowing it was made out of gold and diamond. If worse came to worse, I figured the lowest point for gold still had to be higher than the highest point for cardboard. Besides, I don't even know how you melt down a baseball card. Of course, I don't know how to melt down a diamond either.
