I just cant imagine getting to retirement and needing funds from cards. The value is Pretty much a wild card until you book a profit. Your 500k jordan can be 180k a year later. The auction ends 2 days after a massive crash in stocks or crypto. Anything could happen even to the old blue chip cards.


Same with a retirement account in volatile stocks. Only is a profit when you sell.

This is why most financial advisors say to scale back risk as you get closer to retirement, or start taking dividends per month.

Personally, a very small allotment in cards is probably fine, but no more than 10% at retirement. This is coming from someone who used my 401k shortly before the financial crisis to buy signed cards, and sold 1 month ago. I can't say I timed the market, but I am now able to deploy back into retirement when the stock market appears to be cooling off and for some odd reason cards are still hot.


If i was a YOLO FOMO type, and had decades before I needed the funds, it may have been different. However, with 1 yr CDS approaching a 5% return with 0 risk, I cant hold cards as possibly appreciating assets.
