While investment could be a stretch for our hobby (though I am not against it as others are) the cards shown are all commodity type and high demand cards. Very nice choices for asset stability while collecting. Just my opinion and I don't mind saying I collect with the values in mind and hope my cards actually go up. That being said I have a ton of cards where I absolutely KNOW I overpaid because I wanted them, they are rarely encountered, and I knew going in I would probably not recoup my investment in them. On others I should be able to make up for the ones that my "collector bug" got me to buy.
I am one of the collectors that has put more into cards than I really should have, relative to other resources I own, but haven't regretted it for one minute. I love the hobby and am not sure it would be as interesting without the values associated. Hope I won't get creamed for being honest. Just my point of view.
