Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>We are in somewhat of an agreement. As I said in one of my posts....the best "returns" I have made on cards were ones I bought for my collection and sold down the line....If anyone is going to buy and flip quickly, and try to make a profit, good luck. It's not as easy as one might think....As everyone has said....(well, almost everyone)...I see no reason that cards can't be a small portion of your portfolio. Buy them because you enjoy them and the worst you will do is enjoy them...that's not too bad.

If one were to put, say, $20k into cards - what investment strategy you folks recommend?"<br /><br />didnt see many answers to "what cards" in these great responses of strategy. with $20k you would have to stay in the mid to lower grades of the following<br />cards, but i think it would have a nice return.<br /><br />any JOE JACKSON, particularly e90-1, '14/'15 cracker jack, m101-4/5 sporting news.<br /><br />t206 magie error<br />m101-4/5 babe ruth<br />t204 walter johnson<br />t206 plank<br />'33 goudey lajoie<br />'14 cracker jack mathewson<br /><br />of course, you need to find them for sale first, then try staying under $20k second....good luck!
