<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 59991, member: 3011&quot;]On this Independence Day, I&#039;d just like to say that I&#039;m a great believer in independent thinking and a do-it-yourself mentality.&nbsp; Investment advisors who are truly good don&#039;t need clients because they can make all the money in the world investing for their own account.&nbsp; The rest are salespersons, whether they work on commission or at an hourly rate.&nbsp; But back to collectibles.&nbsp; Old baseball cards are valuable because everyone&#039;s parents threw them out.&nbsp; When people starting putting them away by the case, they ceased to be financially worthwhile to collect.&nbsp; Any coin being saved by the roll by vast numbers of collectors is unlikely to work out well financially, so hopefully the collectors like to look at them.&nbsp; As many knowledgeable people state on this forum over and over, things like key date coins and anything scarce and high quality should outperform the new nickels and state quarters over a long period of time.&nbsp; About the only thing not likely to be financially rewarding in coin collecting is getting caught up in the current popular mania and grossly overpaying for things.&nbsp; Of course, this is only the opinion of an investor with severe numismatic deficiencies -- me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
