Isn’t that a similar argument as none of us witnessing Babe Ruth or someone like me never seeing Mickey Mantle hit a baseball live, but I would much rather own their card vs Aaron Judge.

We now have audio books, but people love to grab a hard copy to read. People collect records and some prefer listening to them too. Nostalgia is nostalgia.

To Ryan’s original question if I were to invest 10k into a sub-section of this class I think vintage of the greats has highest floor. Pokémon highest ceiling (own none) but witnessing “regular” shows and local shops the kids are very much interested in that space.

I am personally enjoying and see beautiful tickets from 30s-60s. Great colors. They present very well and are great to mix and match with type 1 photos, scorecards and art. Great story telling.

*One digital art comment, I read Christie’s shut down that category recently from their platform.
