Default 10k for a postwar card

Meanwhile, back to the actual topic-

1) Someone mentioned earlier the Bobby Orr rookie. Great call!

2) Wilt's Fleer rookie or his 68 Topps Test

3) a 68 Topps 3D Roberto C

4) one of the more desirable Pele rookies

5) a high end 53 Bowman Color Mantle

6) a Satch rookie

Default 10k card

Almost forgot another candidate- a nice 51 Parkie Gordie Howe rookie.

Haha, aren't you the scurrilous old codger. Don't kid yourself, Peter. I am not telling you anything different than your own investment advisor.

It's great you can afford to buy the cards you want, and it's great their value has gone up for you. Be happy you get enjoyment out of your hobby. Don't try to make it more than that.

Al my "under a rock" comment was about your having no clue what Bitcoin is.
As for investment advisers, sure, but their background biases them towards a certain perspective. And I'm a huge believer in equities, but not necessarily to the exclusion of all else.

Oops. I know that some very smart people, including Musk and some of his Stanford buddies, wanted to create a universal currency outside the influence of government manipulation. I don't have a good idea why people want to "buy" it, though, other than it is going up.

Musk is not connected to Bitcoin. If you're interested, here is a link to some basics, I don't really get it myself but I think it's here to stay.

Until everything goes to hell in a handbasket (including the U.S.$, Euro, etc.) and the internet goes poof. And it will eventually. Hopefully the whole house of cards holds together for a few more decades by which time I'll no longer care.

Most definitely here to stay. Can't count the number of times over just the last 6 years that I have been invested in bitcoin that it has been "declared dead".

Until the whole internet goes 'poof'. So just when you need an alternate currency to government paper with our social structure crumbling, your Bitcoin 0's and 1's will have disappeared into the ether.

Once they've all been mined, then who maintains the blockchain?
