For whatever reasons the prices of 2015-2016 real or false have come down considerably.
It seems like the Major Auction House Market has been flooded with HOF Rookies and Ugly Old Gift Grades of Star Cards. Higher End Raw Sets have seem to held their own, actually are doing quite well. Speaking in only investment mode, as far as long term capital appreciation on post war cards in general it is my opinion that prices will continue to drop in the near future on high end cards. What Say You ?? I would never consider more then 5% of retirement investment in cards. The Hobby is way to fun to worry about money. It is cool to think about it :-) |

I never looked at my collection as an investment for me. I consider it a gift for my son.
My collection has been assembled for my enjoyment. When I die that enjoyment goes with me. I got my value out of it. My son has explicit directions to sell my collection for as much as he can and then spend that money on something he would enjoy. Whatever money my son gets from it will have no relevance to what I paid for it. It's all free money for him to enjoy. I see that as a huge win/win for my collection.

I have the theoretical knowledge to make decisions on cards as "an investment", but not the discipline. Sometimes I know which cards I shouldn't buy, but I want them now, dammit.
![]() I have 2 daughters, one who is into baseball right now and the other not so much. My cards (whatever is left, anyway) will go to them and they can treasure them as I would or dispose of them as they please as circumstances dictate...

With the stock market returning almost 20% last year why would you invest in cards?
