In decades past, when I used to go to card shows regularly, I found that dealers were ready to make deals on the last day, just before packing up. And cash money talked. Many of my cards were bought that way. My 58 Mantle comes immediately to mind. There are many, many others.
My investment was staying in the Navy and getting a 65% pension. Totally unaffected by the stock market.
100% affected by the price of cards. I will never pay thousands of dollars for baseball cards.
