Why Autographs of Young Players Make Horrible Long-Term Investments & What To Buy Instead
It might be a no-brainer to say, but in the autograph world, there are 2 huge categories everything can be broken down into. Items from players that are deceased or retired, and items from players that are still active or even rookies. Eventually, you'll even have to ask yourself, which category is better for my investing? What autographs are better to buy long-term? This can be a hard question to answer. While the new and current players feel so much more exciting and it can be so easy to get caught up in the hype and want to be a part of it. The reality is this also makes current player items more volatile and unpredictable. Sometimes they pan out, but most of the time they don't meet expectations. For me, that just isn't the game I'm looking to play when it comes to my autographs. So today we're going to talk about why retired and deceased players might be the safer way to go when it comes to investing. Keep in mind, investing is different than collecting. Collect what you love and enjoy. Investing is for the sole purpose to make money. Of course, these are just my thoughts and opinions, but it is a huge question that you need to answer for yourself if you're going to be comfortable investing in this hobby! I'll help you come to your own answer for this question today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!
