I think this is really key!!! More money can be made on the buy side than the sell side, especially in this hobby (imo). If I had 50k to invest I would look for the best looking cards for the grade, of higher end HOF'ers. I would want to buy cards in the 2-4 grade range that present 1-3 grades higher, but pay at the bottom of those scales. As for the era I would stick with Pre-WWII but arguments could be made for post war also.
Frank- this is hypothetical. I DON'T think it would be unwise to put some money into our hobby as a piece of your investment strategy. It's all about balance.....and I am meaning this on a general basis. My balance is heavily weighted in cards but I am an addict and don't recommend it.
