JasonNow, don't get me wrong - nowhere in these articles were cards mentioned as anything but an alternative placeholder of value, (such as art or other collectables), within the context of a diversified portfolio of assets.
Baseball cards were not discussed in detail, and they were not discussed as an active primary investment vehicle in any of these mentions.
I was simply surprised to see them explicitly making the list at all within formal discussions of the investing "Establishment." Previously, I had always seen these lists of "other" assets to include art, coins, real estate, etc...
