There is no reason to assume that the purchasers (assuming legit sales) would have any reason to bail out after only one year.  As I recall, after the events of 2008 there were still strong auctions of cards for about a year.  <i>Collectors </i>who overpay for cards tend to hold them, not liquidate them, unless forced by circumstance.  <i>Dealers </i>trying to move inventory tend to sell into the market, though many dealers, weekend warriors especially, tend to sit on overpriced inventory rather than moving it, hence the eBay virtual museums that some dealers run.  <br />\n<br />\nWill prices come back down?  Probably.  That has been the pattern with every hot streak category in the past.  Will they come all the way back down?  Probably not.  The questions are when, why and by how much.  <br />\n<br />\nAll I can say is that if I had a card I was into for $4,000 that had gone to $16,000 in a short time I would probably sell it and buy a lower grade one with a tidy profit to spend on more cards.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				Read my blog; it will make all your dreams come true.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href="https://adamstevenwarshaw.substack.com/" target="_blank">https://adamstevenwarshaw.substack.com/</a><br />\r\n<br />\r\nOr not...\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by Exhibitman; 06-17-2016 at <span class="time">12:10 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1551740" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1551740 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1551740_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">Exhibitman</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=148">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=148" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to Exhibitman</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.americasgreatboxingcards.com/">Visit Exhibitman\'s homepage!</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=148" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by Exhibitman</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1551740 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1551740 -' + '->';

We hope for the best, and prepare for the worse.   Spreading the wealth makes the most sense.  Heck, I have many Craig Jeffries, Sammy Sosa, and Rafael Palmero minor league cards which are now lost in the basement.  In the flip side I have lots of Jeters and Ripkens which more than cover my entire budget spent on Minor league.   <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIf I was to just into the postwar arena then I would load up on Clemente, Mantle, Maris, Banks, Mays, Rose, Paige, Robinson, etc... And follow the same strategy of hope for the best and prepare for the worst knowing that if one or two cards hit then it pays for everything else...  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nNow, me personally... I try to not buy things when they are hot.  Example, is if a couple deep pocket collectors were buying Old Judges, then I\'ll settle for Gypsy Queens.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1551157" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1551157 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1551157_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">BeanTown</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=7971">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=7971" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to BeanTown</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=7971" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by BeanTown</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1551157 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1551157 -' + '->';

The high end baseball card market is <i>extremely</i> volatile. The prices are going through the roof right now. That trend isn\'t going to continue forever. What goes up, invariably, will go down. When you consider, too, the amount of market manipulation that is present in our hobby, I just can\'t see how anybody would be so cavalier. Realizing that, the inherent risk is palpable. If you choose to bet big, more power to you. You may make a lot of money.

I\'m speaking of Bob\'s post re the Cracker Jack Jackson, of course, but also of a M101 Ruth rookie in "7" that supposedly went to the owner of the Arizona Diamond Backs a few years ago.  Was Al Taubman strictly investing in his $500 million or so art collection, auctioned off through Sotheby\'s fairly recently?  One would think that if that was the case, it would have been up for auction before, rather than after, his death.  Sure, art is art, but collectibles are also collectibles, and their appreciation/depreciation follow rather constant principles throughout their various iterations, almost like the laws of physics.  That\'s why one particular  1964 Aston Martin recently changed hands for $11 million.  This special edition model was supposed to have a manufacturing run of 25, but only 19 were made.  Gee, might "rare and significant" have something to do with the above?  <br />\n<br />\n     It\'s also why 1967 L88 Corvettes have recently changed hands for $3-$4 million-' + '-20 made, with 560 horsepower 427 racing engines that ultimately ended the Shelby Cobra\'s domination of Corvettes on the longer sports car racing tracks (165 mph top end for the much higher drag coefficient Cobras, versus about 190 mph for the L88 Vettes).  These things will appreciate due to their, what was that phrase again, "rare and significant" nature, regardless of the initial motivation for their purchase, and in many cases, are simply being snapped up and disappearing from the market for quite a few years.  They\'re being kept and held because well-healed, knowledgeable collectors LIKE them-' + '-sure, they like the thought that their value will increase, but do you really think that guys like John J. Pittman, who assembled a $40 million coin collection over his lifetime (purchasing mostly in the rare, undervalued, quiet areas, because as an Eastman Kodak chemical engineer, he could never afford the so-called "trophy" coins, such as the 1913 Liberty head nickel, 1804 silver dollar, 1894 S dime) and kept it for his entire lifetime was primarily motivated for investment?  He LIKED his coins, which is why they only came up for auction AFTER his death, just as Bob quite obviously is delighted with his \'15 Cracker Jack Jackson.<br />\n<br />\n     You\'re probably right that there is a significant amount of big dollar, near-mindless investing going on now, but IMHO, it would be incorrect to ascribe all the huge price increases we\'ve been seeing in truly significant items largely to that factor.  Just beware that if something seems overpriced relative to the existing number of examples, it probably is, and that these are the items, just as occurred in the coin and car collecting fields, that are in for the greatest correction in the market.<br />\n<br />\n     You are also correct that I have not been able to stay in touch with this truly great board you have fashioned as much as I would have liked for the last few months, due to an overwhelming work load (on the plus side, that heavy load has financed some long-sought after acquisitions).  But the various collectible fields are far more alike than they are different, and the same principles will apply over time.  I find the coin collecting field to be the closest parallel to cards, and it\'s history, having become an organized hobby roughly 120 years before cards, offers some unique insights as to where ours is likely going.  The eminent Q. David Bowers, author, collector and coin dealer for more than half a century, wrote that, over time, the collector (as opposed to the investor) is king, because the former has taken the time to study the field, whereas the latter are often like lemmings, following the herd even as they plunge over the cliff.  The collector, who in Bower\'s considerable experience enjoys the highest LONG TERM appreciation in his collection, buys and HOLDS, because he truly LIKES what he has obtained.<br />\n<br />\n     Hopefully, based on the above, the current market is not nearly as dominated by investment-only types as your post seems to indicate, but if it is, I would stay away from purchases where condition rarities seem to be hoisting up the prices of far lower condition examples to rationally unwarranted levels, where the latter are really not hard to come by.  Persistent trends throughout the histories of other collecting fields make such "investments" a very, very risky proposition.  Depending upon their significance, they will be cyclical in appreciation at best.<br />\n<br />\nMy very best wishes always,<br />\n<br />\nLarry\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by ls7plus; 06-14-2016 at <span class="time">06:29 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1550597" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1550597 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1550597_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">ls7plus</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=35763">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=35763" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to ls7plus</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=35763" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by ls7plus</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1550597 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1550597 -' + '->';

I personally think the \'52 Mick is a commodity, and a good one at that.  It will (imo) do a whole lot better than 2 bucks a month when he finds a new home.

Buy the card, not the holder.  There are far too many "9\'s" which will compete with the "10\'s," with very little substantive difference between the two.  Specifically, PSA has graded 2,418 "9\'s," 6,745 "8\'s," and 158 "8.5\'s."  SGC has graded 308 "8\'s," 287 8.5\'s," 136 "9\'s," and 12 "10\'s."  Taken together, the supply factor of "high grade" Jordan\'s looms far too large for me to take this card seriously as an investment in the long run.  It\'s value will appreciate similarly to analogous coins in the coin market, where such items, scarce (and definitely not rare) in the highest numerical grade, but much more common in a minimally lower grade, are cyclical in value appreciation.  The fact that a high grade Jordan rookie is simply not any kind of real rarity makes for a significant downside risk for the long term.  If they\'re on the upswing and you can pick up one for the right price, flip it as soon as you can make some substantial money.  Not at all an item for long term holding, IMHO, and very, very vulnerable to demand swings, whereas you won\'t see that with classical rarities in vintage cards.  The latter will prove much more stable with likely very close to linear appreciation.  What works to obtain the latter in EVERY field of collectibles is one simple formula: rare, significant, and in the best condition you can find or afford.  The Jordan is not and never will be rare, although it meets the other criteria, but those are the two least important for value.<br />\n<br />\nHighest regards,<br />\n<br />\nLarry\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by ls7plus; 06-09-2016 at <span class="time">04:09 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1548585" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1548585 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1548585_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">ls7plus</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=35763">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=35763" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to ls7plus</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=35763" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by ls7plus</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1548585 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1548585 -' + '->';

A Jordan rookie at 30k or a PSA 9 1934 Gehrig that never trades that will cost you 10x the price because that\'s what a private broker says it\'s worth? <br />\r\n<br />\r\nTell me why a Jordan PSA 10 shouldn\'t be worth 30k?  There are roughly 250 of them... That\'s five per state in the union.  Are you honestly going to try to make an argument that there aren\'t more than 250 people that are able and willing to own a Jordan rookie at 30k to say they have one?  They should probably be worth 100k+ each!<br />\r\n<br />\r\nGive me the liquidity, give me the commodities, give me the transparency.  If you want to collect, fine...

Or perhaps you already have.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nPeace</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Thank you for posting.  I almost never use the investment perspective of collecting as the main factor when making a purchase - so maybe I don\'t have a sound grasp on some of the examples you\'ve mentioned.  I mainly do this for fun - but you raise some good points.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIn your example cards aren\'t truly that type of commodity yet.  If I buy a contract for a specific type of crude oil with a specific sulphur content and API gravity I expect to get exactly that.  Grading companies have brought us closer to a common standard - but there is too much variability in the perception of the value of a certain grade - due to factors such as the PSA Registry.  This can be seen when you compare the Fair Market Value of cards corresponding to the same grade across the various grading companies.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIn addition, due to counterfeits, uncertainty of execution and the various quirks in how things are bought/sold, means many buyers are willing to pay a premium for the certainty of execution. You don\'t have that factor in commodities where you can go to any place that buys/sells and get the same result.  That is certainly a reason some eBay dealers achieve higher prices for their cards than other sellers.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe depth of the market also varies greatly over time, making the market volatile for certain areas of collecting.  Certainly there is volatility in the market for other commodities - but not to the extent of those that invest in cards.   See the example in another N54 thread about the guy that bought $80K in the rookie card of a specific player...which later tanked.  I believe it is also one of the reasons you can\'t compare the value of investing in, say penny stocks to those traded on the NYSE.  The market isn\'t deep enough to support long term investment decisions without involving a significant amount of speculation.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nJust my thoughts, and I admit I could be way off base.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nZ\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1547991" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1547991 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1547991_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">Zach Wheat</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=59">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=59" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to Zach Wheat</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=59" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by Zach Wheat</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1547991 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1547991 -' + '->';

As more trades happen, more people get more comfortable with price and liquidity and feel it is safe to make a \'bet\'.<br />\n<br />\nIn the basketball world, Jordan rookie cards are the ultimate commodity.  Baseball you have mantle rookies, football... Try on a Namath rookie for size.  What do you feel safer putting your money in??? A Jordan rookie at 30k or a PSA 9 1934 Gehrig that never trades that will cost you 10x the price because that\'s what a private broker says it\'s worth? <br />\n<br />\nTell me why a Jordan PSA 10 shouldn\'t be worth 30k?  There are roughly 250 of them... That\'s five per state in the union.  Are you honestly going to try to make an argument that there aren\'t more than 250 people that are able and willing to own a Jordan rookie at 30k to say they have one?  They should probably be worth 100k+ each!<br />\n<br />\nGive me the liquidity, give me the commodities, give me the transparency.  If you want to collect, fine... Go buy a PSA 6 gold border common.  If you want to invest, give me a PSA 8 Koufax all day long and twice on Sunday.  Complain about prices changing all you want, but when you are done, you will miss the move... Or perhaps you already have.<br />\n<br />\nPeace</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>I don\'t understand the point you\'re attempting to make here.

We have said before, demand out-trumps supply.  And timing is also important.  What the future holds?  I would guess the Jordan RC and the 1934 Gehrig should both do just fine, but its just a guess - nobody has a crystal ball.  Heck, what do I know, a couple of my stocks have not done that great - didn\'t guess right on those.  Other stocks have done ok.  My real estate has bounced back very nicely.

			The pure investors clearly have the most to lose here.  At least those of us who are mostly in it for collecting will still have something we want if prices drop.  And I personally still can't figure out how to do the "investing" part of cards.  Everything I've ever bought specifically on speculation seems to be worth less than what I paid, while much of what I've bought for collecting has gone up in value, but most of my stuff is mid grade.
