c'mon will you learn anything if i tell you the 3 most expensive cards aaron ruth mantle look like reprints? you're not gonna learn anything getting yes/no answers...and next week you'll be back with another "investment" batch asking for more opinions.
and you're right, that's what this forum is about nowaday. people wanting quick answers and not willing to learn. |

If a potential investor came to me and said, "I'd like to put $25,000 into the options market", the first thing I'd do would be determine what their goals were, and what their risk tolerance was. I'd also gauge their investment experience. If they've never traded options, they're not getting naked approval. Far too often, people are lured by the promise of big gains. But in any area where money is being risked, one needs to learn to how to walk before they can run. And before learning how to walk, they need to learn how to crawl.

JK, this is a thread and it's difficult to know the spirit in which things are posted or commented on. I tend to believe most posters here are sincere and, in time, you will see that there is an abundance of knowledge about the hobby here. Take the comments for what they are, and try not to read things into it. Understand that most, if not all of us, began collecting by not spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on cards. We began buying packs as kids, then attending shows, and then perhaps bidding through auctions. Most of us have purchased on ebay. It has taken us lots of time and years to develop knowledge and insight about the hobby. So it " bothers " us when you tell us what you are doing in terms of purchases, and then ask our opinion. Most of us try to error on the side of caution with our purchases, and we are trying to help you avoid the mistakes we have made. The advice given in previous posts, imo, has been reasonable and practical.
