What percentage of your net worth?

For me, collecting is more about fun and some emotion and historical appreciation. That being said, I am careful about what I pay and I watch my money. I rationalize collecting this way: A lot of guys I know spend a lot of money on alcohol, tobacco, bass boats, and a host of depreciating assets. So, everyone has a vice. I tell my wife that at least I can sell the products of my vice and at least get my money back, if not make a little. You can't say that about a lot of things you can spend money on. I just enjoy '40s, '50s, and '60s baseball cards.

Between 25-35%. I do not think the percentage of your net worth is as important as how much of your net worth before cards you s33pent on them. If you bought a Wagner T206 in 1979 it does not have the same financial impact as one bought last year.

I've gone over the deep end as of lately. But I think I'm at 50% mark which I deem out of control of my own spending. I literally have dodged marriage twice just so I can spend the money on sports memorabilia.

But I can always count on my collection never leaving me and taking me to court over anything so ill keep putting my money where it's safe lol

Probably decimal points of my net worth. I should start using some of the net worth to buy the many cards of my childhood that I anxiously pursued when I opened packs as a kid back in the mid 60's & early 70's. It's not quite the same buying a graded slabbed card at auction as opening a wax pack after riding your Schwinn Stingray to the corner store. I have bought a few cards back when there were cards shows.
