Top of the market?

I'm not sure anyone should be laughing at someone knowlgeable buying the right vintage cards for investment purposes. As part of a diversified portfolio of course. People who bough a Ruth rookie card, or a high grade 52 Mantle, or a PSA 9 Goudey Ruth or Gehrig 3, 5, 7, 10 years ago look like they are doing pretty well from where I'm sitting. On a lesser scale, I traded off a few fairly rare vintage cards I bought last year and cleared about 30%. Not technically for investment purposes, but not sure where else I could have gotten that return.

I went through some of the junk wax era cards I had in boxes and decided to keep some of the more interesting ones because I am a collector. They may not have any investment value but damn, they are some good looking cards.
