I’m not afraid to say that I am definitely one of those who prefers buying vintage sports memorabilia (particularly cards) over the stock market, especially after weeks like this where equities got absolutely slammed. Besides, owning Apple, Amazon, Exxon Mobil, nor Google could ever bring even a remote taste of the joy I get while holding my ‘33 Goudey Ruths, gazing at them in amazement, wondering about the provenance and how in the world they survived bicycle spokes, several wars, and an overzealous mom who threw away anything that wasn’t tied down or hidden between my mattresses (Playboys included!!). While I do believe diversification is key, baseball cards are by far my favorite “investment”.
