Another +1 on both being different topics.

As far as investing, it can be a very complex answer, but a simple suggestion is go with something where there is a historical trend and my personal belief is that the older, the higher grade, and the rarer the better. The key is to not overpay and learning how to do that only comes with experience.

Personally, I'm focusing on a rare set like 1966 Topps Venezuelans (graded) because it is very scarce and I believe will continue to rise in value above what I have put into it so far and history is on my side in that pursuit. First I really like the challenge, but I also see it as a collection that qualifies as an investment.

Another area I'm thinking is an investment, but may be riskier, are HOF relic cards. The rough historical data on these is only a decade-plus old compared to vintage, some of which has a 120+ year history going back to cabinet cards.

What concerns me most about Vintage is the effect of baby boomers exiting collecting.
