The problem with that is, in Jeter's case, it's like buying a home without a foundation. His trademark hit was a fisted blooper into right field. To each his own re collecting--I just wouldn't look at the price paid for a PSA 10 as an investment, unless you could calculate a way to make it a tax write-off in 10 to 20 years.
