It's funny how the collectors who have done just that have also done wonders from a pure investment standpoint. When VCP past sales histories were being shattered at the start of this latest run, many scoffed at the prices that were then being paid. Now, those prices seem like bargains.

Sometimes one has to look at more than prior sales data, and embrace other variables, in this case how the hobby was evolving in terms of centering and its rarity in certain cards, or the influx of younger collectors now in their early 30's who were boys in the 1980's, etc.
