They might make a good investment, but then they might not. Some people from about the late 80's t the mid 90's tried that and as a result, most cards from that era are worth little in comparision when they came out, so the value of cards can change and go down if you are only in to try and get them for an investment.
The card companies are also a big part of the problems for cards in that period since they overproduced the cards to make money and in the process destroyed the value. I agree that you should have fun and if you can make some change.
