NY Times article on cards as an investment

[kailes2872]

While I am a collector only and hated what Beckett monthly did in the late 80’s early 90’s as every card was looked at for its dollar figure and not its aesthetic and intrinsic value, I enjoyed and appreciated the article.

I especially appreciate it because there has been more than normal push back about the obsession and the collection. I forwarded her the article and said that I was only thinking of the family as part of my portfolio diversification and I had the 54 Aaron card that was up 890%. I then invited her to look at our portfolio and show me the equity up 890%. Hopefully, her frustration will lower and I can begin participating again at a higher rate. She did say that it was a BS comparison in her mind because I would sell the equities in a heartbeat but she knows that she will have to pull the cards from my cold dead hands.
