I almost jumped on silver when it was languishing in the $14 range. Problem is there is a load of it out there that can be mined the moment the price goes up. There's no scarcity to the supply to make it predictable . I have a few friends that went long on silver back in the day and learned this lesson the hard way.

I actually took this advice when silver was $11.00 an ounce. I haven't checked it in a while, but am glad I put a few bucks into it. Thanks David!!!

In my opinion, the future price of silver is a difficult thing to predict and many factors play into its pricing. Somewhat interesting talking about recent move:

David, I believe that an investor would done even better by buying high grade Mantles, Clementes, Koufaxes, etc. six months ago! :)

Yep... The silver turned out to be a great investment....

High grade rookies of
Aaron
Rose
Would have been better!

We've got to figure out who the next card with the crazy price jump is going to be. Seems like it's all about post war right now.... Maybe rookie Eddie Murray PSA 10's 😂

Wonder if his cards will go up dramatically in the future.
Didn't a Willie '52 Topps PSA 9 recently fetch close to half a mil? That has to represent a pretty fair price appreciation for the card's owner, or I am going to find another hobby.

I truly think both are still undervalued based on pop reports and yes, I do have heavy interests in both for sake of transparency.

Peace, Mike
I was at a card show about 20 years ago and remember drooling over a PSA 9 or Gem Mint 10 (I believe it was a 10 ) '48 Mikan rookie. This was the first time I had seen graded cards and the price was in $7500-$7800 range. I wish I could afford it at the time. That card would probably be worth 10X that today in that condition. It was being offered by BMW Cards .

Of course by then, counterfeiting technology and time travel will be so good that the whole collectibles market will be ruined.

I don't think I'm going to make 151 and my daughter is not going to keep my collection, so a 100 year time line is not too relevant to me. FWIW, though, I think Babe Ruth will outlive all the rest in terms of long term recognition.
