above are 2 primary examples. there was also a 70 ryan psa 10 that gained $13K from the previous sale (same exact card) in only 2 years time.

1 card. easy sale. monumental returns.

no brainer for us collectors that aren't "intelligent"...
Bob haha. As an investment strategy, I agree with you completely. The flips have definitely taken on a life of their own and that is not likely ever to change. But purely from a collecting standpoint (if there is such a thing) it makes no sense to spend ten times as much for a card that is a microspeck better and maybe not even visible to the naked eye. Not to mention more likely altered in some way.
