When I asked my financial advisor how best to prepare for retirement, he asked me if I know anything about trading Upper Deck & Tops. He's seven years old btw.

Lol!!!! This post is one of the best in a while. Thank you! Thank you!

i wouldnt waste money on Tops... they are for babies...

Topps cards on the other hand, depending on player, can be worth quite a bit..

so can Fleer, Goudey, Bowman, Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, and quite a few others...

Such a bunch of hateful people. Sucks.

REEVo’s baseball card collection is worth 80 grand in fantasy-bucks. You know what fantasy-bucks are REEVo? That is what stuff costs in your head. It isn’t worth 80 grand USD until you sell it for that.

And lol, Nick.

you clearly dont understand how the card game works... and i could easily sell them for that, and still have sh!t left over...

but guess, what, i dont want to...

ive even started collecting Magic again, and have made a killing doing so...

cards are like stocks, i dont come at you telling you how the stock game works, so dont try to tell me how the card game works, ive been doing it for over 35 years...

Ohtani just blasted another bomb, he keeps this up for the rest of the year, the one i have thats about a 1k-1500 dollar card, will double...

then theres the 12 DK RC auto cards i bought for 15-20 bucks, those are all 150 plus now...

then the Mantles, Mays, Robinsons, Musial RC, Mahomes RCs, Allen RCs, WIlson Rc's, Zion RC's, Morant RC's, and everything else...

And you still only have 30k to your name? Maybe real estate would be a better investment.

Let's say you actually have 30k. That would be a decent down payment that you could put down on a house.

Then either you can live in that house and pay the mortgage and in 20 or 30 years you'd own real property that you can retire in...

or, you could rent it out and let other people pay the mortgage and then later you can retire in it.

The only catch would be you qualifying for a mortgage. But that would require you to have...

....wait for it....

a job.

And don't give me any excuses that real estate is a bad investment. Over time it is a great investment. Just ask someone who has made hundreds of thousands that way.

if i spent all the money i have on a down payment, i wouldnt have any money...

see when you dont have any money, and have to live like that, you learn things...

ill never be broke again...

when i got to 2k, i said i wouldnt ever go below it, then 5k, then 10k, then 15k, then 20k, then 25, then 30...

now, i want to buy a couple things, pay off the rest of the Jeep (2300), buy another shotgun (2500-3000), buy a truck, maybe take a vacation somewhere with Katie, so 25k right now is what i dont want to go below, and i wont, unless something bad happens and its nessecary...

will never be below 20 tho thats for sure...

and as i said earlier, the housing market will crash... ill wait till that happens, then slide in...

that 30k is cash assets, the cards and sh!t are material assets with monetary value...

Hate...? I love this [Bleeeeep!], the DS is best of both worlds.

Evo's autism shouldn't be this amusing...but the response should.

I'm guessing this info is false in your eyes, Evo. Not that I care what you do or don't do.
time, card prices increased multiple times.
The values of baseball cards peaked in the early 1990's and then decreased by 10% to 30% over the next few years. Since that time, the card values have been relatively flat. Many people find this last statement hard to believe, but it is very simple to verify. Simply go online and buy a Beckett's Price Guide from the early 1990's. (It costs less than $10 with shipping.) You then can compare the prices of the exact same cards with a current Beckett Guide.

Surely they could never see a decrease in value again. That was just a fluke

Predicting real estate bubbles and when they pop is tricky at best. But OVER TIME you can make lots of money in real estate. I'm talking many hundreds of thousands of dollars. An amount that would dwarf your 30k.

I just gave you serious and good investment advice.

Somehow I knew you would reject it.

I guess I'm just getting soft in my old age. It's very obvious that he enjoys the abuse though.

no one goes by or uses Beckett prices anymore, they are irrelevant.. the only true price anyone goes by is Ebay sold listings...

card values in the last 2-3 years have skyrocketed, you have the famed 1952 Topps Mantle RC card that 10-15 years ago sold for 200k in mint condition, now, one sold not that long ago for 5.2 million...

a Mike Trout rc sold for 3.5 million..

the Mahomes rookie i have, is a Donruss Press Proof RC that i got out of a clearance pack at Walmart for 3 bucks, that card his RC year, was about a 20 dollar card, mine is mint, and should grade a 10, regardless, raw cards have sold for 350-450 dollars for the same card...

Griffey rookies that were 30 dollars for 10 years, are now back up to their peak area in mint raw state, at around 100-150 dollars, and graded ones in the 10s, are worth 2k daily...

like i said, ive been doing this for a little bit...

Magic is through the roof as well, go look up a Beta Black Lotus in a 9 grade, then scoop your jaw off the floor...

i also didnt reject anything, i just said im not buying a house right now with the prices at where they are at...

the market will crash, just like it always has... then ill make the decision of when and where...

thats actually for vintage stuff, new stuff, is more of a hype market, if someone does good, cards go through the roof, just like with that gamestop sh!t, people buy it up and then it settles a little bit, generally lower than what it sold for...

but as i said earlier, Mantle isnt going to beat his child to death, or rape someone, so his legacy cant be tarnished, like say Aaron Hernandez... his cards were hundreds when he was playing, now is usually just wierdos that want them, and they dont sell for much either...

That baseball card that said [Bleeeeep!] you on the bottom of the handle was pretty cool. Probably not valuable, but my friend had one when we were kids.
