Default Baseball cards as an asset class

Posted By: peter chao

Agreed. Not a good idea to invest in baseball cards.

Three major weaknesses: 1) baseball cards are not liquid in comparison to stocks and bonds, 2) card market has a very short track record (maybe 20 years), and 3) the market is very thinly traded (so the absence of a 1/2 dozen collectors could have an impact).

Edited to included 3) above.
