Memorabilia as an investment

[lumberjack]

I started this thread and wanted to jump in for a moment.

Two years ago, Investropedia commented on stamps as an investment. In 1988, there were nearly 58 thousand members of the American Philatelist Society (hope I spelled that correctly). That number had dropped by more than half when the article was written. Boomers made up a disproportionate number of collectors and supply became greater than demand.

Outside events do shape trends. Covid brought a temporary resurgence in stamps. Hey, people were stuck at home....

What I remember about card collecting in the '70s is that there were stamp sellers who left that business behind and became very savvy sports memorabilia dealers.

Does this have anything to do with us? Like Mark Twain (supposedly) said:
History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
