There could be rogue gangs of pirates in your way.

I guess I better stock some gold too, I'm not sure if Pirates also charge a silver tax to use their waterways or if they require a bit more than Native-Americans do to traverse their territory.

I've heard their price of corn is still a " buck an ear "...

Why hasn’t anyone mined the clouds if they’ve got silver linings

I'd rather find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Would silver make a better hat over tin?

steve B 04-19-2023 08:50 AM

It's more conductive, so probably. But I think it's weaker than the kitchen foil, so It might not make a good hat.

It would still work better shiny side out.

Would I sell cards to buy gold or coins? No, not my thing. Dave Ramsey says constantly that if things go down all of that stuff would be worthless. Fuel, energy, food, water, and shelter would be the commodities.

I learned that watching all the Mad Max movies

I also think part of a quality prepper plan is to be 100+ pounds overweight, so you can live off your body fat when food becomes scarce.

Seriously, I have some metal. I think real estate is also a key thing to have. Diversification is always good.

so very true. also, I think growing your own food (and having chicken, pigs, cows etc) will be key along with water shortage. I believe that if this country gets that bad, then sports cards would be the least of our worries. We will see what happens in 2024.

Yes everyone should own at least one cow. Very useful animals.

A trait common to so many preppers

I have magic beans for trade. I would take a large pile of gold or a few truck loads of silver.

I have some gummy worms, marbles and a pack of gum to trade.

I would think if you are looking for a more stable asset, a fixed rate CD at 5% will get you there. When banks were paying .01% on deposits, I'd rather have the cards, any appreciation in price was a bonus. Now, not so sure I'd be going all in with any asset class.

I forget whom has said it best

"in times of no money, cards will keep you company. In times of no cards, money makes a lonely stranger."

I think your missing the point. They are worried banks won't exist. A melt down of the economy or a zombie apocalypse. CD's wouldn't be of any use in that scenario.

I'm not addressing the peanut gallery, but the OP who asked about an inflation hedge. You could trade for tin foil
