1- If your cards are really an investment, then you should have no qualms about liquidating your position. If you're cards are up, you should be joyed to sell right now.
2- Cards are not an investment. I've gone over this before. Invest in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, a home, an education, a kid's education, real estate... You're fooling yourself if you think cards are an investment.
3- Seems to me more folks here are collectors, not investors, when it comes to their cards. There's not really any reason for a purest card investor to even fool with this site.
4- I don't think your wife should invest in Tiffany bracelets or rings... she'd have an attachment to those, they aren't investments even though they hold some value.
So I think your wife may well be right. Sell all of those investments. Then scale back what you spend on cards, to a collectible level. And let the rest of the idle money go into traditional, true investments.
