I'm certainly not trying to discourage you and I believe collectors are free to collect however they want, but if it were me and I had $10K to drop on a 1983 Topps set, I think I would buy a mint raw set and put the other $9900 in a mutual fund.

In 30 years from now, I guarantee you the mutual fund will be worth several times what a PSA 10 1983 Topps set is worth. Again, I’m no one to tell other people how or what to collect, but I think in 30 years from now you would be more happy with $100K (or more) sitting in a mutual fund with a nice raw ’83 set than you would be with just a PSA 10 ’83 set.

Good luck!
