That explanation was given in 2016 too, FWIW.

It was important then and more important now . And I think we have been saying buy the card and not the holder since the Gretzky Wagner was graded.

I can't imagine EVER referring to my collection as a "portfolio". Good grief. Seems to me the "justification machine" is on full tilt right now. What's next - extensive restoration?!?! |

By "last few" do you mean since the 1980's? Because I've heard cards referred to as investments since at least then. |

It's impossible to deny that in the past 3-4 years specifically, the talk of "alternative asset class" and "investment portfolio of cards" has reached a whole new crescendo. |

Ha, good one! She actually has the kids dialed in with shoes. Just stretched a little thin right now with repairs to a couple of houses.

Eye appeal greatly affects market value. Since 2015, cards with superior eye appeal, highlighted by the PWCC Certified High End brand, have realized prices 65% higher than market value on average. A complete download of all PWCC-HE sales and related statistics is available on PWCC Marketplace website.
The premium paid for cards with superior eye appeal and highlighted by the PWCC-HE designation reveals an investment trend largely in its infancy. As a key investment variable, the eye appeal of a vintage trading card seems destined to have an increasingly significant impact on market value for the foreseeable future. Investors are encouraged to take notice of this topic and invest accordingly. THIS IS A QUOTE FROM PWCC

Yes, it's increased lately, and with more flowery language. But the number of people who were expecting to put their kids through college on their holdings of 1990 cards was really large. And buying lots of 100 or 500 or more of the "can't miss" rookies was a thing in at least the early 80's. |

Yes, but pay a sensible price for it, not an off the charts world record.

T206 Young portrait is a high demand card, this example was particularly nice, the price was way over the top, and the T206 market continues to be overheated.
A confluence of all those factors at the same time. |

Maybe it's just me, but I just can't get past those corners to a 5. Maybe 4.5, a 4 but 5, nope.

Wow, you're a tough grader. I would put those corners at a solid 5. The lower right is the only one that has me thinking. I've seen a lot worse and few better for the grade (assuming no other significant detractors).
