Basic Assumtions
1. PWCC and the vault are prescient and legit.
2. They represent the vanguard stock exchange for cardboard assets.
3. Their assets are backed by the crown jewel of TPGs, none other than PSA.
4. As the “Marketplace” attracts more and more “real” investors who don’t know the difference a bullpen game and a bear market, many assets in the vault are now valued out of the reach of an average Net54 devotee.
5. Storing your own cards is a pain in the neck.
6. Enjoying the “feel” of ungraded hall of Famers is overrated.
7. Camaraderie enjoyed by “true” baseball fans and card collectors, formerly found at brick and mortar shops and card shows, has been supplanted by the internet, which promulgates isolation and depression among formerly content baseball card collectors.
The Pitch
1. Shun your negative feelings about the scandals surrounding the hobby.
2. Open the door to the new world of cardboard assets.
3. You’ll never own or feel a $200,000 Derek Jeter Card, but now you can own a piece of every Marketplace Asset by investing in the new VAULT MARKETPLACE INDEX FUND.
4. Forget about buying based on VCP pricing of individual treasures that your budget allows.
5. Diversify, own a piece of everything, Derek Jeter’s toe nail, a slice of Babe Ruth’s autograph or a certified Honus Wagner tobacco stain.
6. Such a diverse approach eliminates the need to worry about card doctors, restoration and trimming. Let the “pros” take care of all those details with the full backing of PSA.
7. Like successful mutual funds, early returns on investment of fund shares are often the greatest at the onset, before substantial growth of the fund occurs.
8. Reserve your cabin today. Don’t let the Vault Marketplace Index Fund leave the dock without you on board, mate.
Going, going, gone ——- It’s a home run!!!
