Everyone's situation is different. If you don't have a financial set up you are presently happy with, I certainly wouldn't be pouring a sizeable chunk of what you have into cards, artwork, race horse partnerships, or anything else like that. But if you are comfortable financially, whatever that means to you, I don't see why buying a 75,000 Mantle card is a whole lot different from buying a condo in Florida you might rent out. It may go up, it may go down . . . I doubt it will be worthless when you go to sell it. Diversifying is the name of the game. If some relatively modest % of your wealth is in baseball cards, I don't see an issue with that. In fact I think its pretty smart.
