No ... no ... NO !!!

The false notion is that the 52T Mantle is "gonna' keep going up." The high-grade examples came down pretty hard over the past few years. The lower-grades have held up pretty well, but that doesn't mean that they are gonna' keep going up. I would not call them "investment cards" because their prices have become ridiculous now and I expect them to correct too someday.

There are way better cards that you can invest in: Leaf Jackie, Bowman Mantle, Topps Aaron rookies, etc.

Ship has sailed on most of those. Heading up 20x in 3 or 4 years isn't sustainable.


I'd do most of the lows raw, highs and stars graded. I'd wait out the superstars until bitcoin goes back below 20k and housing drops 50%. I kid, however people will begin to see their paper winnings shrink, start to take profits, and there should be a rush to the exits.
