If you do not have a good knowledge of the area it is risky like with every investment.
The main advantages of investing in collectibles are:
-Low correlation with conventional investments (stocks, bonds, futures etc)
-Very good inflation hedge if not the best
-Higher growth potential than conventional investments
The main disadvantages are:
-relatively illiquid
-hard to value
-high of cost and sale
-high knowledge of the area needed
Personally I like investing in collectibles it is much more fun than conventional investments but I would not put all my money there. The most important rule is invest in what you know and like dont buy just random. Personally I have a large collection of Panini sport and other cards. The appreciation is very good better than gold, stocks and bonds.
As a long term investment for investor with good knowleage of the area is great.
