Sell Vs Investment

Funny, Doug. I am sure a lot of us feel the same way about taking a hit on retirement accounts. Taking retirement dollars and investing in cards is known as the Leon strategy. However, I don't think I will ever have the knowledge he & others have about cards.

I think the original question has many facets to it. As previous posters said, it really depends upon what cards you have as well as what you are going to invest in. I feel most high grade HOF'ers and other high end cards are a great "investment" right now and will do well in the long run. Commons and other cards, I am not as sure about. Conversely, there are other traditional investments I wouldn't dare to plunk a dollar in to in today's market. Interesting question.
