Be an expert in sell prices, then you know when something is a deal.

Expand beyond baseball cards.

Frankly, I thought a couple of posts in this thread were crap.

Put every dime you have into Mantles. Every one of his cards is on the same escalator...the up escalator.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I just buy stuff that looks like a good value. Here is one I got on ebay a few days ago....I don't need or want it. It was a BIN at 1300 and I paid 1200....I think it's worth a little more. That is how I do it. The back is nice... "What is the downside and what is the upside?", is my question with each purchase.

Like with any investment, patience is where the real payoff happens. There are way easier ways to make fast money than in this hobby.

I swear it was just last year that you could get a decent looking PSA 1 Red Cobb for like $500-$600.....

As one who used to do some trading way back when, I am convinced that TPG killed card trading.
