Hi Everyone,
I was thinking....If you had $5000 to invest into cards... What, or who would you buy? I am sure some will say, use it to flip a biggie, or build the PC.... I know this is a loaded question, :lol: however just curious, of your thoughts. I am thinking of doing some high end flipping..
Thanks,
Paul

I would get a 2009 Legendary Cuts Babe Ruth auto. They seem to be going for around $4000-$5000 as there was a decently large print run on them. No picture of the Bambino on it but if I had the cash to blow thats what I would do :mrgreen:

VERY smart...anyone doing this will make big time money, a thousand plus or more per card...they are so cheap right now

agreed. i know a few guys who coach and scout basketball. both of them are in LOVE with durant. they say he has it all. one of them is even claiming he thinks durant will be the best player in the NBA in 3 years.

If I had to make an investment, I'd definitely invest in stocks.

Thanks for the replies guys.... I have the cash to do it... However, I know about as much about basketball cards, as I do about polar bears.... :lol: Cgilmo I saw your post, and that may be a possibility also. Raw goes for about 225-300... have not seen any graded yet...

Put 4000.00 in to a mutual fund or a higher-interest CD and invest 1000.00 into around five players.

That's the smart move.

Where in the world are there high interest CD's right now??? If can find one, point me in the right direction.

Baller. I love you bro. But that's not what I said. "Higher" is a relative term. As in......I'm "Higher" now than I was before.

LOL.

I wasn't even trying to be a smart@ss, the wifey recently got a small inheritance and we have been looking for something to do with it. We searched different CD's and didn't find any that were worth the investment. So, I was actually hoping you had a good one on your mind :)

I was just joking around. Anyhow there probably aren't any really high interest CD's right now but the point is that it's guaranteed. The other point is that you should try to diversify with larger sums of money and shouldn't throw the whole sum into prospects.


In this case I would do something like:

1000.00 into a CD
3000.00 into a mutual fund like T. Rowe Prices Asian Growth Fund (Ticker: PRASX)
1000.00 into Jeremy Jeffress

(In this case Jeremy Jeffress = Other Prospects - I just wanted to flip you guys out for a second)

Can I skip Jeffress and just buy the weed with the extra $1000?
