But if you had jumped on Ohtani in 2018, didn't you do well for yourself today?
I guess what I'm getting at is that there seems to be a need to put distance between different methods of collecting. But when it comes down to it, we're all mostly collecting in similar ways.

Not really sure where you are going with this. I think all forms of investing are gambling, but some are obviously riskier than others. Obviously, the earlier you invest in a player during their career, the more risky. But you may also be able to get the cards for less. What scares me is people paying 6 figures for a player like Jasson Dominguez who hasn't proven himself yet.
