peter ullmanI am a collector at heart...always have been...but 2 years decided to "invest" in cards as it seemed kinda easy...and I bought a t4 obak...a bunch of t206 cobbs...some others...and then waited to resell them. I did pretty good on the cobbs...basically got a nice green background for free and made about 20% on the t4. By the way I bought the t4 because I wasn't in love with it...just because they were pretty rare. After owning the obak I grew to really love it and it was difficult to sell. But in addition after I bought it T4's started appearing seemingly more frequently. Sorry for my rambling...in summary:
-it's hard to be a collector/investor in something you love...if not impossible
-invest in stocks...real estate...precious metals
-invest in fine art and other collectibles you may like as well
-if investing in prewar bb over the short term...I prefer type rarities and variations over condition rarity...In my dreams I'd have Leon's collection!
