I would consider that "losing your shirt." Certainly, pre-war cards are far, far more likely to hold their value or increase in value. I would never argue otherwise. But there is no guarantee of that.

When I stated that it wasn't going to go down in value, I meant it wouldn't be worthless, which is where the Kris Bryant card may be headed some day. I wish the best of luck to whoever bought it.
