I’m curious what the investor/collector ratio is among buyers of vintage cards.... unlike tech stocks, there is a mix of collector/investor who add to the inflation or prices.

I’d prefer that the cards I buy at least hold their value (and increases are nice too!) - but even if the value correct, I’ll still enjoy my Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Satchel Page.

If I had to guess, I would say that investors make up less than 20% of $$ spent on vintage cards. If they exit, prices settle down a few ticks, I’d have no concerns with that.
