Buy cards that only come available every 12 months or so and you have to buy them when available

I would like to say is I think it’s going to be flat for a good while from these levels or slightly lower…the question to me is when will it go back up again like it did over the past 3 Covid years… I don’t think we’re going to see another jump like we did for a good long while and I accept that and expect as such…no problem.
I think that’s a plus for us Collectors/investors as it gives us more time to be tactful with our long-term buys. The key is buying quality names of mainstream well-known investor/collector angels(Cobb/Ruth/Mantle/Jackie/Mays 33 Goudey T206 CJ’s 50’s Topps ect with centering and color unmatched). Be patient but don’t be stupid if you see it and it’s reasonable and you have time 5+ years buy. |

Likely a crash then plateau a bit higher than it was in 2019. Who knows when, but everything reverts back to the mean.

Anytime is a good time to buy. The big thing is stay away from the current cards that are being pumped and dumped otherwise known as the hot must have cards.

Don't think the big time cards are going down, doesn't matter the market. Maybe you get a weak auction here or there but those are outliers imo. The Wagners, Ruths, Jackson's etc aren't going down other than a random dip at auction here or there.

I agree with all that has been said. When I see a card, that to me really stands out, I try to acquire it. My only issue is having enough money to buy anything decent. I usually settle for leftover crumbs, but it's still fun. As mentioned many times, when I saw this I knew I wanted it, even though I have another nice one. The best of the best (untrimmed with big borders) will always have great demand.

My advice is when you have the money, BUY! Just like the stock market, which has been up almost 70% of the time over history, why try and time it? I'd guess the vintage card market has been up even more than that. The further we get away from the early 1900's, and the more collectors/investors migrate to vintage in the years to come, the harder the cards you're looking for will pop up. You may get a better price on an item if an auction is diluted with great stuff, but amazing deals in the vintage market are few and far between. Just my thoughts..

Now that Wall Street has accepted that quality sports cards are a personal admitted asset and the massacre of modern basketball still going on (that money has to go somewhere), I would buy now, sit back and relax. But then, I have been at this a long time and sleep pretty well at night. |
