Default Investing or collecting

Posted By: Doug

I'm 28 and I actually bought my first vintage card (a EX 1952 Topps Willie Mays) 11 years ago. As far as the investment part goes I'm usually content to get my money back when I sell a card. I try not to let my accumulation of cards to get over a certain dollar amount so I usually end up selling cards I've had for a while in order to pick up new ones. As long as I'm not losing money (at least too much) I'm not that concerned about the investment end of things considering I usually don't hold onto anything long enough for it to go up in value any noticeable amount.
