I have said this before, cards as an investment is a long game (like real estate). Buy good stuff, make sure you can hold (i.e., don’t over extend), and hold. You should make money. If you try to time the market, then it depends on your luck.

Now, what constitutes “good stuff” is the subject of a zillion other threads
100% agree, like real estate its cyclical, collect long enough you'll overpay and underpay depending on the environment. What constitutes the "good stuff"? Cards that speak to your soul, that make you feel good every time you look at them, cards that fulfill your particular collecting goal. Reminds me of the quote "I'm not sure what love is but I know it when I see it".
