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.
