Some collectors argue that smart investors are still in vintage..and without a doubt, vintage is more stable. The stock can go down with a modern card, especially if a player gets a DUI or his batting average tanks for example. The vintage player that has been dead for decades is not going to get a DUI tomorrow or lower his batting average. The vintage market holds value and doesn’t fluctuate as much. Vintage also brings back memories for collectors who can re-live their childhood. It’s fun to see a family where a grandfather, a father, and then grandchildren are all interested in vintage cards.
