Cards Hedge to Inflation

I believe that it is, at least the time-tested, vintage stuff, from Cobb-Ruth to 1963 Pete Rose Rcs.

I agree concerning the topic, Ryan.
I am not so sure about inflation when it comes to expensive cards. Is there inflation on a 1914 CJ Jackson in a 5 holder? Or is it more a collectibles increased value? And I don't know about others but if I pay 4 or 5 figures for a piece of paper I am not thinking about inflation.
That all said, sure, I guess cards can be a hedge to inflation. I prefer to think of them as increased or decreased value. I love collecting but I treat them as a cost basis, liquid asset.

Inflation bit this one hard as it sold for a lot less a half year earlier.
