But that is based on her lack of knowledge on this hobby and its potential.

My only problem is will this hobby(as investment) hold out in the long run. Will it continue to grow? I believe parts of it will like T206, Old Judges, Hall of Famers.

For those who collect for the enjoyment only(which is probably a majority), who cares?

My wife understands my passion and has confidence in my evaluations of the issues concerning them being part of our investments. I absolutely don't recommend it for anyone else. I am comfortable with it but then too I had a straight commission sales job for over 20 yrs and have run a few business, so I am somewhat of a risk taker to start with. It's all about calculated risks to me. I would rather have cards I can enjoy as part of our nest egg than all of it in stocks, cd's etc...To each their own.
