What if I told you you could sell it for $1 million today or $5 million in 4 years. Could you not wait 4 measly years?

Yup, that'd be the smart move.

Personally I would sell today. In 4 measly years I could be dead, car crash, cancer, or a plethora of other really bad things could happen in that time. The old 1 bird in the hand is better than 4 in the bush thing.

I'd ask where you are getting your information from, and if you had some good stock tips as well.

No doubt I'd sell it. I don't trust the market for the Wagner to simply keep increasing in value forever and ever and ever. Plus I don't even like the look of it. I could maximize my own collection with a tiny amount of the profits, and not have to worry about money for the rest of my life. Easy, easy answer for me.

LOL...just looking at past prices and guesstimating future prices. Certain cards (this one, 1952 Topps Mantle, etc), have NEVER gone down in value. Not saying they can't....just looking at what they have done in the past.

Its a bit of a false equivalency. I could also sell it now, invest every nickel of the proceeds and hope to outgrow the value of the card 4 years down the road. You can make money in cards and you can lose your rear in cards too. Not many financial analysts tout cards as the wisest investment approach and that's not entirely without reason.

At a minimum, I can invest to hedge against the risk of a value drop or stagnation.

First I would trim it, re-skin with a Cobb back, and then have it graded by GAI. Then, I'd consign it to Legendary, shill the heck out of the auction, only to win it back and put it on eBay for an obnoxious BIN price (and free shipping.) All of this in hopes of being the subject of the #1 thread ever on Net54.

For me, if I found one that was worth a decent amount and also found a person that has wanted one for a long time, then yes I would sell. I am this way in any way. In the past I have come across items and I knew people who were looking for the exact thing and I would offer to them, but I would not actively shop the item.
