Economic Effects...
Posted By: Bill Stone
On May 16,2005 a Pope John Paul Topps signature card drew a top bid of $72,484.00 which I thought was goofy. That same $72,484.00 would have bought 1,450 shares of AIG. On September 17, 2008 the AIG shares were worth about $2,900. I wonder what the value of the Pope's card is today? The fact is I think the collector who has a true enjoyment in owning baseball cards is going to buy them because they bring pleasure and memories and that anyone who invests in stocks or autographs or cards just for financial gain is going to have moments of disappointment.I could pull out a T210 Jackson and enjoy it even if the value falls in half but not so with my certificate for shares of AIG.
