Mark TIn my opinion, the summer is the best time to buy since many collectors are on vacation and that way you may find better deals on Ebay.
As for an investment, if you started a few years ago you could have bought great cards for great prices but now you have to pick and choose cards. If you like a certain card and are going to hold for a long time then go for it.
Great to see a modern collector swing to the vintage side. I see this more and more now, which makes it even harder to get the cards you want. More collectors equals less supply.
Edited to say: Web sites showing Dealers selling cards have much higher prices than you can get on Ebay. Dealers have some nice cards but you pay a premium...I don't want to list them here just in case the Dealers get offended by my comments and i think its against Rules of the board...
