I am posting this comment approx 2 years after this video was originally posted, and with the privilege of hindsight and so much more that has unfolded within the card hobby during that timeframe (as we have all seen, experienced and/or heard about), I can say this: Agree 100% percent that focusing on cards that are “undervalued” may not be the best long term bet. As stated in the video, if it was to catch on, it would have by now. Seemingly, collectors are drawn to certain players/cards, and trying to fight the trends that have unfolded for decades may not be a wise risk. Also, what I have learned is that the true GOATS seem to not only maintain their value and demand, but continue to increase over the long haul. So I am personally sticking with the household names. The other pattern I have seen is that certain players have one true iconic rookie card which stands head and shoulders above their 2nd, 3rd and 4th year cards, so with those, if you can afford it, I believe the best bet is to stick w the rookie card. Example: Jim Brown. However, there are iconic players who’s 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc… cards have appeal and demand. Example: Mantle and Mays. Of course, given that I am posting this in 2022 and vintage cards have skyrocketed, one can respond with a “no shit, Sherlock,” but regardless, for what it’s worth, these are my findings. Also, Jackie Robinson cards are always great because there are only a few of them (unlike Mantle, Mays and Aaron). One more thing: Historically, “vintage” has been associated w baseball cards more than any other sport. However, thankfully, as the overall card market expanded during 2020 and 2021, vintage football and basketball cards (and more recently, soccer and hockey cards) have picked up steam and catching up to the iconic baseball cards, so there may be better value and good finds in those sports. A mid-grade Jerry West rookie is more affordable than a mid-grade Aaron or Mays rookie, but the pop counts are comparable, so as investors/collectors become more and more aware of non-baseball vintage cards, I believe that the prices and demand for those cards will likely continue to rise over the long haul (as has been the case over the past several years).

The one thing your videos continue to help with is STRATEGY. As a previous collector getting back in the hobby there are so many cards and so many ways to purchase cards, you can easily spend a lot of money and look back and not really have what you want, especially when it comes to vintage.  Your videos continue to help to come up with a plan of collecting cards...and feeling good about it. Thanks very much for your work here. This video clearly took some time to make.

@daniellarsen889

That 1955 Bowman card design is one of my favorites.

@TJ_Is_Online

Great video.   All of these cards showed real nice growth and  collectibility since you published this video.

@PickerJimS

Bravo! Another awesome video sir! It seems to me a lot of people don't do much research into what they buy. I see people putting in bids on eBay  for more money than they could "Buy It Now" from someone else for the same card! Another important thing you said was to have patience. While I always try to buy the cards I want at the best price I can get I don't usually worry about ROI, I typically buy what I like. If I had $1000 to spend on one card I think I would try to be very patient and persistent and look for a 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson in a PSA 3 or 4!

@MrTommygun3571

For my 1K, I would buy a 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 7 card.
An iconic card.

@SconnieTradition

Great video Keith. Great question as far as what to invest in. To me a lot of the vintage cards are very high right now. May there be even more meat on the bone...sure. I think the best investments could be in some semi newer cards though. Pujols and Ichiro come to mind as two that will go down as all time greats who's prices are still in the ballpark. I have always been more of a collector than investor but I have stared at a lot of cards and prices over the past six years or so.

@HereForAStorm

I would add the 1953 Topps Willie Mays

@tbm9160

Awesome video once again. Your research & analysis make your videos must watch (with multiple viewings). Thanks again for sharing.

@Al-ImprovEd2022

Just watched this again. A follow up video would be interesting. I’m going to look at a private dealers cards this week and it helped me.

@thevintagecomposer

Fantastic video; very well researched. For me, a card has potential for ROI not just in a big name player, but that all important eye appeal including way an image jumps off the cardboard at you. I've noticed that for the last several years there's an increased demand and growth in the 1954 Ernie Banks RC. Not at all an undervalued player or card. If I find a well-centered example, it will be time to upgrade!

@pdubs7069

I like your honesty and knowledge! Your a normal guy! You got my sub! Great content and I wish you the best!

@TheMURPH398

I love these videos so informative , I’m really just a collector not an investor but still would like to have some value in the end

@pepinoman9271

You said "Iconic"!😱😱😱😱

@Base1986

I completely agree with your five takeaways. Would you say you believe in the brands of players like Carew and Bench long-term over Aaron, Mays, etc? I'm leaning towards the lower grade rookie cards of the latter...from my research, I've found "investment grade" to be nothing more than a marketing term and a moving target based on supply and demand at any given point in time. I'd love to get your take on this. As always, thank you for all the time and effort you put into these!

@mikeorz111

Awesome job as always!

@rmawn55

I spent $1000 dollars for a Nolan Ryan , PSA 7, rookie card, a year and a half ago! At a show, in of all places, Wilmington MA!

@cscottriffle

Awesome video!!  I hope you are right.  I would buy color of Arenado rookies.

@ThoseBackPages

Pops only increase, people seem to forget this.   There is no wrong time to buy an Aaron RC

@IMOJAG

Thanks for the info Keith, I was actually shopping for a 52 RedMan Stan Musial myself. Probably not the best place to put my premium PC $ towards
