But again, with that said, I'm not saying hi-grade vintage PSA 8 cards are a good investment...just saying they have gone up in the past 5 years.
Of course, this doesn't mean these cards were even a good investment relative to other things in the world. For example, my Vanguard Mid-Cap Index went from $48.77 in July 2002 to $76.48 today (it's even higher because of dividends). And those card prices may not compare to home prices. So the value may have been better in other things and not cards.
Again, I'm just pointing out the high-end cards that have sold recently in some auctions, where I can track other cards that sold in the past as well. But past performance is no indicator of future performance. (I know, too much like stock talk, right? Sorry).
