$15,000 to spend on 1-5 cards...WWYD?

I would bet a lot that a basket of higher graded elite prewar cards and Mays and Mantle rookies and 52 Topps would best the S&P 500 by significantly more. Yeah you can qualify it in a hundred ways but it's still pretty damn interesting, isn't it? Thank you for the charts btw.and to Charles for the first chart.

Prego.

By all means, be my guest and bet on any cards you want. Hopefully they pay off for you.

I’ve got 25% of my assets tied up in cardboard right now, mostly due to the recent runup in cardboard values, and that’s already uncomfortably high for me, so I expect that percentage to decline in the coming years, simply through investing more in other asset classes relative to cardboard.
