Default What to buy

Posted By: Cashews

investing is hard. to me, it seems like a smarter move, in purely investment returns wise, to buy 50 cards for 1000 each than a few high dollar cards. the reason why i say that is because lets say you buy a t206 plank and spend 20 k. chances are in a few years if you re-sell it you're only going make maybe 10 k more after your initial investment. that sounds like a lot but if you were to buy say 50 cards worth 1000 each that in 10-15 years start selling for 1500 each, you've just made 25 k. imagine if the cards begin selling for 2000 each. its a tough call but to me it doesn't seem like the price of those high dollar cards is rising like the prices for say t206 HOFers graded at 5's or 6's are. but that could always change.

don't take my word for it though i am by no means a rich man.
