Coins, Cards, Collector Cars, and Collectibles!
Thanks for reading The Attic Capital Newsletter - discovering, pondering, sharing… and hopefully inspiring the next generation of collectors.
Three Things -
You could read about rare coins, sports cards, and cool collectibles all day long - but right now I just have three things for you to consider.
#1 - Coins
It’s the story every coin collector dreams of - stumbling on a hoard of rare gold coins in the backyard.
Apparently, a Kentucky man found millions of dollars worth of Civil War era gold coins in a cornfield.
Included in the find were 1861 gold dollars from the Dahlonega Mint, and a handful of rare 1863 Double Eagles.
NGC certified the coins, and has more on the story -
#2 - Cards
Big news for sports cards - Panini sues Fanatics for creating a monopoly.
It would take me all day to break this down, but this cardboard and collectibles drama is just getting started. You can bet Fanatics will fight back.
The antitrust lawsuit filed by Panini includes poaching employees, derogatory statements, and intentional anticompetitive conduct, among other things.
The lawyers are gearing up for an epic title-fight.
If you’re a hard-core card collector, I’m sure you’re already snacking on a jumbo bucket of popcorn. More from ESPN
#3 - Cars
Hagerty says the overall collector car market is cooling, and it’s hard to disagree. Although the pace of the price declines is slow and uneven.
The evidence shows higher interest rates are impacting classic car values.
(Of course every car has unique characteristics making any market index only a very broad generalization.)
But a fun index to follow and contemplate, nonetheless!
Hagerty’s August report titled, “Is Depreciation Back? Yes, Suggests 911s and Corvettes.”
