Baseball cards helped me acquire…other baseball cards.
Since the 90s I've shunned chasing hot rookies/prospects in favor of snapping up cards of future HOF candidates (especially graded). It's a very laid back and easy venture...bid/spend low, purchase, store, wait... I use the realized loot from these eventual sales to help me with my hobby stuff. Getting 2-5x of the initial investment back is the norm, not the outlier. Cards are small and long term storage is easy. Putting 1K into a bunch of graded 1960 Jim Kaat rookies over the years and turning it into 4K+ is a nice way to ease these elevated price markets. Scott Rolen, Ted Simmons, Tony Oliva...also somewhat recent realized flips that earned great ROI. I'm waiting around with a slew of Billy Wagner, Lou Whitaker, etc...and some more "maybe, maybe not" types like Jim Leyland. I haven't bought any Whitaker in years because the price has been driven up by other speculators...same for Dick Allen.
