and in return, i agree w/ you about the microspeck and tens of thousands of dollars of paying for such.

but this thread was in respect to investment, so that's the advice im conveying.

Yeah it seems we do agree, for once. But that can change.

well chit! i hope it does. agreeing was fun and all, but...

and for the record, i would much rather have 200 1970 ryan psa 9s than 1 psa 10.

but i would crack out about 50 of them and play the resubmit game all day long!

edit: in fact there might be 10 of them and an sgc 98 sitting at psa right now as i type!

Adding a Gem Mint grade was a stroke of genius but I still don't understand how a card can be better than Mint. And I think a lot of the 10s are either arbitrary or favors.

ok. quit making sense. it's only been 10 minutes and i'm already sick of agreeing with you!

the dress is red. take that.

I agree with those who suggest collecting for fun. Economics is not my long suit but I fail to see how past value fluctuations are an indicator of future performance. Strictly being a collector, I just hope my estate will be able to recoup all the money I spent having fun in the hobby.

ut-oh peter! we shoulda went out and bought lottery tickets as well.

that 1970 nolan ryan that i was referencing above is now a pop 3!!!!

and yes, she's mine. haven't got her back yet, but cert #21096450

we all know what the last one just sold. so yes, i'd follow that strategy above!

(also had a 71 ryan bump from an 8 to an 8.5)

off to have a real fun night!!!

The flip is powerful but I would guess it is like the dot-com bubble of the late 90's it will burst.

As long as there are male egos with money, I would guess not. But who knows.
