Best $10,000 investment card

But let me ask you. According to your definition, is gold an investment? Bitcoin? Commodities futures? None of those create value, right, they just go up and down according to what market participants collectively think they're worth.

Gold and futures are not investments in the pure sense, but they are used as hedges to reduce risk, so they are investment tools, I guess. I have no earthly idea what Bitcoin is.

Meanwhile, back to the actual topic-

1) Someone mentioned earlier the Bobby Orr rookie. Great call!

2) Wilt's Fleer rookie or his 68 Topps Test

3) a 68 Topps 3D Roberto C

4) one of the more desirable Pele rookies

5) a high end 53 Bowman Color Mantle

6) a Satch rookie

Trent King

Almost forgot another candidate- a nice 51 Parkie Gordie Howe rookie.

Haha, aren't you the scurrilous old codger. Don't kid yourself, Peter. I am not telling you anything different than your own investment advisor.

It's great you can afford to buy the cards you want, and it's great their value has gone up for you. Be happy you get enjoyment out of your hobby. Don't try to make it more than that.

Al my "under a rock" comment was about your having no clue what Bitcoin is.
As for investment advisers, sure, but their background biases them towards a certain perspective. And I'm a huge believer in equities, but not necessarily to the exclusion of all else.

Oops. I know that some very smart people, including Musk and some of his Stanford buddies, wanted to create a universal currency outside the influence of government manipulation. I don't have a good idea why people want to "buy" it, though, other than it is going up.

Musk is not connected to Bitcoin. If you're interested, here is a link to some basics, I don't really get it myself but I think it's here to stay.

Until everything goes to hell in a handbasket (including the U.S.$, Euro, etc.) and the internet goes poof. And it will eventually. Hopefully the whole house of cards holds together for a few more decades by which time I'll no longer care.

Most definitely here to stay. Can't count the number of times over just the last 6 years that I have been invested in bitcoin that it has been "declared dead".
