As good as that sounds from an investment standpoint, there is a TON of stuff you could have bought 40 years ago and made way more money than that Wagner card. Just a simple investment of $1500 in a mediocre stock portfolio that you dont touch for 40 years probably does better. Not to dimish the Wagner story, it is cool and I like it, but sometimes people forget the time value of money when reading stories like this.
On the flip side in 1995 when I was 19 years old I was investing heavily into Steve Finley cards thinking he was the man. I am glad that "heavily" for me meant about 50 bucks! Anyone want to buy a bunch of 1989 Bowman Glossy cards?
