Default Why It Pays To Invest InHigh Grade Pre-War Cards

Posted By: Dave S

"He "stole" the Peckinpaugh card"???

Years ago, an old lunatic gave me some advice...as to whether or not cards should be considered worthy of investment. I think his crazy principle held true then, still does, and always will...
You're never going to see CONSISTENT returns with the "Peckinpaugh's" and commons of the hobby. If you're looking only from an investment standpoint..short-range or long-range..low-grade or high-grade..limit your collecting to 8 players: Babe, Honus, Ty, Walter J, Matty, Cy, Gehrig, and Joe J. Forget the Peckinpaugh's, forget the commons...regardless of condition..

To those of us that enjoy collecting for the chase, and the FUN it entails, how much we'd miss by limiting our collections to these 8 players. But think we'd always be able to unload without a loss...
Not so true with the Peckinpaugh's...
