Investing in baseball cards
This was a bit of a fluke and I admit that I still don’t know what I’m doing. I found a baseball card of mine from my younger days and did a serach on ebay out of curiousity. I found an auction for the same card that ended at around $800 (but this card was graded at BGS 9.5). On an impulse I ended up buying about 10 more of the same card that were ungraded from ebay. I had this idea that the card would only increase in value over time and that if I got them graded they would be worth more. I realised soon enough that it’s not that simple so now it’s 4 years later and I still have them lying around in protected card holders. The card is the 1994 Alex Rodriguez Upper Deck Electric Diamond (#24), it’s a rookie card or something.
I think the lesson here is to not go on a whim when you think you have a great idea to make money and to do all the proper research before doing anything.
If anyone knows anything about these cards please let me know.
