My experience was a bit different. While I have never sold a big ticket item before, I decided to pull the trigger on my Dietsche Cobb batting and fielding about six months ago. After realizing that I could pay off some debt and make my life a little easier, I called an auction house and got them sold.
I was certainly cognizant of the fact that some folks were calling for the Cobb Fielding to be a 100K card in the future, but I also remember the collectibles crash of the early 1980s when interest rates skyrocketed. While I don't "invest" in cards, I thought now was as good of a time as any to sell those two cards. There is a lot of free money floating around out there and I thought I better get some of it for myself! As it stands, those two cards were the best investments I ever made in my career. They went up about 2000% in about 15 years. |
