boxingcardmanComparing rookie cards from the 1990s to vintage cards is like comparing penny stocks to the DJ components. They may have the same general classification but they are about as different as can be. Every year since the early 1990s we see articles on how crappy the (new) card market is; yet vintage has gone through the roof.
I'd trace the "investment" mentality back a lot further than 10 years ago (1997). Probably back to when Rosen and his crowd started self-promoting.
