re: Is hobby card collecting worth it right now?

My approach is to buy genuine legends between the ages of 37 and 52. There’s a lull in almost every player’s cards during that period. Some come out of that period with stronger demand than ever. Some never really make it to the other side.

For example, I had been collecting Shaq but I’m starting to like Randy Moss more right now. Football is a crapshoot though, particularly if it’s not a qb. You don’t have that Asian market to juice prices like you do with basketball. But I don’t buy stuff to resell. I just try to buy stuff that I like and I think others will eventually like too.
