I remember about 15 years ago on this site there was a post asking about what percentage of your net worth should be vintage cards and memorabilia. I don't remember the average answer, but I do remember it was shortly after I sold an antique car and bought a lot of Old Judge cards with the money. I figured out that my net worth at the time of that post was approximately 95% baseball cards. The other 5% was my old everyday car, a small coin collection and whatever money I had in the bank at the time (I had zero debt). I believe the recommended card/memorabilia net worth was somewhere around 10-20% max. I was pretty young at the time, but it worked out great for me long-term. I wouldn't recommend it for others though.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
