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.

To calculate the cost of net amount at risk (NAR), first determine the total exposure amount of the insurance policy or investment.

Finally, multiply the net amount at risk by the applicable rate or premium to determine the cost associated with that risk.
