With all due respect to his thoughts about "speculative assets," it's gotten to the point where I seek to buy Mickey Mantle cards as more or less investment pieces.
If I can walk away from a show landing one at a decent price, by the time I get home that card will already be worth more...and it will continually grow in value with countless people who would buy it at the market price, because the demand does not cease.

Maybe this approach should rightfully be called "specific speculative assets."

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
