The Hangover: Cards Aren’t Investments? They sure can be! + Three Gretzky Rookies + Selling Cards You Love
Sports Cards LiveShow Notes
Special podcast episode of The Hangover from the Sports Card Clubhouse platform.
Are sports cards investments? According to Jeremy, the answer depends on the collector. But if you insist they absolutely cannot be investments under any circumstances...well, he has a word for you.
Jeremy and David get into the debate over collecting versus investing, why nobody else gets to define how you approach your cards, and what happens when real money, long-term value and eventual exit plans become part of collecting.
Plus, Jeremy comes home from the Saskatchewan Card & Collector Experience with three raw Gretzky rookies, a realization that he may be a terrible flipper, and some lessons from buying cards on the show floor. David gives an update on his massive consolidation into a grail, including what it feels like watching beloved cards disappear at auction, and the guys look at some potentially interesting movement happening across parts of the hobby market.
It's collecting, buying, selling, investing, arguing and probably offending a few people along the way.
