Default I will go against the grain

I will go against the grain on this question. Back in about 1998-1999, when ebay first started taking off, I took most of my money from savings and bought rare, quality, pre-war baseball cards. I am NOT advising anyone to do that. It's probably dumb. That being said I have never made a better financial decision in my life. I am sure I am in the minority but just thought I would give that bit of information to the very good discussion going on. I also think vintage collecting will be around for longer than anyone on this board. It's been going for about 75 yrs already...

On a Wagner's value....a vg one is worth multiples of the quote above. I would guess it would be in the 750k-1m range, today.
