Interesting Article. While prices seem to be holding somewhat in the card market, other collectibles seem to be getting hammered. |

Prices are more down than you'd think; just depends on the cards in question. I've been scooping up postwar cards I've always wanted to have at very attractive prices. |

I've long wanted a mid-grade '14 CJ Speaker, and was happy to get a PSA 3 last night for 40% less than recent sales... |

Wait a minute -- as I write this I am looking at a banner ad for Lelands that quite clearly states "The Best Place for Your Money is in Memorabilia . . . " |

I don't know memorabilia extremely well but I can safely say that for the last 12 months running (and for that case 10 yrs running) I would have rather had my money in rare and scarce pre war baseball cards. I am pretty sure my best cards haven't gone down 40% in the last 6 months like the stock market has. So yes, I would rather have my money in cards as 20-20 hindsight.......and am very happy I didn't have a lot in the market but to each their own.......regards |

Adam W....I was responding to the other Adam but I agree. There is another saying that is even better but we will skip it for sake of the kiddies on the board.. |

It's hard to argue with the track record of vintage baseball cards in the past few years, and while cards have been softer recently, they are not subject to the same volatility of the stock market. |

Antiques and Toys in general have been going down the last 2-3 years, stamps have made a come back and coins are still a solid investment. |
