I heard of people using food stamps to buy E93s and 55 Bowmans at a show in NJ.

This hobby has one advantage over many other types of investments: it can be an investment that is fun as well. Our Helmar cards have been more popular than ever and retired cards show good returns. Charles Mandel

With oncoming recession, I think many people are placing vintage in the basket of precious metals as a place to sit their investment capital. I would have told you this was heresy in the past, however “the times they are a changing”.

Sad that a dealer was openly flaunting food stamp exchange laws for such a stupid sale. Also, I thought most states have switched to a debit card format to help prevent these issues.

My opinion:
(1) Record prices of sports cards and memorabilia published on highly trafficked sites such as ESPN (2) Pandemic, stimulus, gov't policies, fed easy money putting a lot of cash in people's pockets that they wouldn't spend on travelling, restaurants (3) Once card prices start rising significantly, FOMO (4) Inflation / fear of stagflation leading folks to think cards may be a safer investment better than stocks or other traditional asset classes BTW, this doesn't mean that I believe card prices will continue to go up, far from it. There are no fundamentals behind it, and it's just manufactured cardboard. You'll never get dividends from it or be able to fashion it into jewelry. Last edited by glchen; 04-27-2022 at 09:14 PM. |

It still blows my mind when I hear people talk about cards as retirement vehicles. |

For me the Best way to use as a retirement hedge/side/retirement is try to stick with cards under 5,000 for ease of liquidity in selling for cash. Many can pull that off at a big show, higher then that they won’t spend at shows unless the National. Do you want multiple big checks coming in from auction houses ? I don’t. I wanna sell for cash at shows when retirement comes.

I prefer cash for the purchasing power it gives me via private sales in person from collectors or at shows from dealers. Over the years it’s been one of the only few ways I’ve been able to purchase big collections or single cards from private collectors. They want cash.
