Default Collecting vs Investing

Posted By: edacra

The weird thing about investing in cards these days is there's little illusion as to what's rare. It was always easy to pick up the guide books and pick out some great obscure HOF cards at affordable values, but good luck finding them, and good luck finding them at book value. Now you can find nearly anything you want and prices aren't really bouncing around all that much.

As an aside, I've always had great luck collecting and horrible luck trying to invest. I wish I could get my money back for some 1987 fleer update sets I thought would make me rich.
