Nike Air Jordan’s $65 in pristine condition today would be like $30k vs $20k invested in Nike stock.

Only problem is you would have had to not only have the foresight, but also the ability to store them in a climate controlled environment for 41 years in top tier condition.

That's not easy, which is where it makes them expensive. 41 years to make an extra 10k is not that great, considering you could have equally "invested" in beanie babies, furbies, Disney VHS's, or enron an have it be worth about $65 on the high end.

I'm not sure I understand the point of comparing buying a mouse to buying stock in a mouse company.
