Tangible Collectible Assets - A Sound Investment

With much uncertainty in Uglydolls world, markets crashing, fluctuating house prices and big businesses closing down, there are relatively few solid investments out there for the small investor to get into.

One such investment that has produced healthy yields over time however, are Tangible 1915 Cracker Jack baseball cards Assets or TCA's.

Tangible Collectible Assets are generally perishable commodities, such as paper, postcards, photographs and autographs.

The commodities themselves cost very little to produce, though the real All-Star Comics lies in the content and signature that accompanies the product.

Take for instance, signed photographs. The value of signed photographs for major stars, celebrities, political figures and those individuals that have made history, eg. Neil Armstrong, have increased dramatically over the years, outperforming a lot of investments in terms of percentage growth and yield.

For instance, signed photos of Sir Paul McCartney in 1997 were selling for approximately 125 Euro. Nowadays, these same photos in 2008 are selling in excess of 1000 Euro.

Check out the values of Fidel Castro, Laurel and Hardy, Pele and Neil Armstrong signatures to name but a few and you'll find similar increases in value between 1997 and 2008.

Basically, the increase in the value of such commodities are governed by such factors as, scarcity, legendary status and peoples overall wants and desires to own a significant piece of history.

Whether you are purchasing TCA's for a quick profit or to save as a long term investment, it pays to initially do a little research into what is popular and what products actually sell and to also check the authenticity of the product being sold. Although it can be difficult at times ensuring a product is genuine, it pays to stick with reputable dealers whom at the very least, offer a full money back guarantee if you aren't completely satisfied.
