Ok, once again you are reading what you want to read. ALL CARDS, not just 19th century cards, ARE NOT an investment vehichle. They have the best chance of holding thier value and going up in the long term, but talk to all the poeple in the 1980s that thought they were going to be sending their kids to college on their investments in basbeall cards. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that is getting their college paid for because of dad's investment in baseball cards.

When I was dealing full time in the 80s and talked to someone that wanted to invest in cards, I told them write a list of your favorite teams and players, and then buy those cards. That way, if the market bottoms out, you have something has some good memories attached to it.
