Default What percent of your life savings is in Baseball Cards?

Posted By: leon

When I was growing up in my very early days (pre-10yrs old) we would sometimes only have mustard in the refrigerator. We always had bread so I had mustard on toast, mustard on bread, mustard sandwiches etc.....Amazingly I still like mustard. The ONLY salad dressing we ever had, when we did have it, was Thousand Island. I still won't let that damn stuff (or liver for that matter) into our house. No way!!

Getting back to the original question. I actually made a decision about 10 yrs ago to invest in what I collect. I got out of all of my stocks and bought cards. I love them but if they have to go, they will. Need I say more? That and they are a heck of a lot of fun made it an easy decision. Also, a key point is that I take care of all of the household finances. If my wife did then I am sure I wouldn't have the leeway I have had...best regards
