Most of my collection I have owned for decades...and these have turned out to be excellent investments over the years...but the fact is they were never purchased as investments...just cards because I love them! In more recent years I have bought and sold a few cards here and there and made a little money in most cases...lost some in some cases. It used to be a lot easier to buy lots from auction houses and sell some of them and recoup all of your initial investment...and then keep the rest.
Those that can successfully "invest" in vintage cards have a lot of knowledge...and do a lot of leg work to find these deals. The avg joe will not be successful at this.
