John H.James,
Who's to say the buyer bought the Ruth piece as an investment? It may well be worthless tomorrow (unlikely) but maybe it will always be worth the $13,000 that was spent on it to the person that bought it. That's all that matters.
I have about 300 Starting Lineups but I didn't buy them as an investment so I'm still glad I have them. I had a helluva lot of fun and have great memories of trading my "valuable" Canadian only pieces to US dealers and individuals for figures that weren't available up here. Don't we all collect things that interest us and that we have a passion for? If not, we're collecting for the wrong reasons.
