Baseball cards as an asset class

[Archive]

Posted By: Jimmy

I consider baseball cards as an asset just like my coins and antiques, I invest in what I know and follow through with collecting specific items. We are not buying and selling modern cards here, but investing in items that have the potential to do well in the hobby for years to come. If you asked me the same question 10 years ago, I would say baseball cards were just something I collected as a kid, the trend has changed with so many opportunities to learn and appreciate the hobby. It really does depend on the person and how you look at collecting and investing. I buy and sell what I know and sometimes keep a piece or two because I am still a collector. The knowledge I have gained from doing it this way has allowed me to invest and learn more about specific items and the hobby. I also would not have found this site if I was just collecting.
