People have stated the true rarity would hold its value better than most. What qualifies for a true rarity? And if its truly rare, you will have a tough time investing because you will not be able to find one.

When the Skydash rarities sold in December, it sure seemed like they should have gone higher - they should be classified as true rarities.....they did not get the high price expected.

Prices seem to be more demand driven than supply - I am painfully learning this as I become a more experienced hobbyist. Perhaps the highest demand in our vintage hobby is for T206's. And of course the most desired T206's would be high end major HOF'ers.

If the market is currently giving a 20% discount on these cards, maybe pick up a Cy Young portrait or Cobby or Matty in NM or better.

Toss it in the safe deposit and smile when Wall Street is not.
