I interpreted it to mean he thinks certain high end postwar and modern cards are good investments even at today's prices. And that those who are not buying into it (literally) will miss the boat.

Didn't get that at all, but okay. I learned something new today.

Don't get it - to some degree he is just pointing out the subtleties of supply and demand in our hobby, er, investments. We have said before, demand out-trumps supply. And timing is also important. What the future holds? I would guess the Jordan RC and the 1934 Gehrig should both do just fine, but its just a guess - nobody has a crystal ball. Heck, what do I know, a couple of my stocks have not done that great - didn't guess right on those. Other stocks have done ok. My real estate has bounced back very nicely. Probably good to diversify a little.

It isn't necessarily bad to miss the boat, especially when it sinks en route to its destination. Hmmm-why does the Titanic disaster of April, 1912 come to mind? Maybe because that one was "unsinkable" too!

Hi, Pete.

Th Manipulator needs to get to manipulating Mike Bossy and Rickey Henderson RC's. Zero plans to sell what I have, I'd just like to see a card or 2 of mine blast off. Got 5 of each in PSA 9, c'mon dude, get to work on this
