It sure feels like investing in baseball cards and memorabilia has turned the corner over the last 24 months and gone mainstream. This surely is good news for the long term health of the hobby and those collectors with great quality items purchased many years prior.

Honestly I am really uncomfortable with this article.
1) Article provides no nuance related to investing and presents buying sports related items as basically completely unrisky, highlighting examples of huge price increases. Statements such as "In future decades Cobb’s legend will only grow" are completely unsubstantiated, and the point is debatable at best. 2) Article is unfocused shifting from the "investment advice" to a polemic about Cobb's legacy. Certainly recent books seem to shed a more humane light on Cobb, but to completely dismiss the old narrative as a total fabrication is extremely hard to swallow. It's nice to see cards going "mainstream" if you could call a post on Forbes.com mainstream, but I'm very uncomfortable with articles like this one. |

With the way the world is going, investments of all types are risky at best.
If we are talking baseball cards Cobb Ruth Young Johnson And seemingly joe Jackson are prettt safe bets. |
