As any wise person would, I agree with those that agree with me, DMcD, Joe D... Joe R has a great point.

But Cycleback has it nailed. You gotta be selling 'em from time to time, too. If you're emotionally tied to them, then that adversely affects your "investing". When it comes time to sell an investment, it needs to be sold, not held for sentimentality. That can easily be done with stocks. Not so much with cards.


Maybe the way to buy baseball cards as an investment would be to only buy excellent or better cards from 1933 or older, ONLY if you don't know who they are or anything about their scarcity. If you're buying them to build a collection of any sort, then that isn't investing, it is collecting. And you're fooling yourself.
