Larry,

Fine wine sure beats bullion gold or other precious metals. Bloomsbury 
Auctions (http://ny.bloomsburyauctions.com/auction/NY031) recently sold 
a case of 1989 Haut Brion for $9500. (not including buyer's premium).  
In 1992 you could buy a case for $750, and I have several cases sitting 
in my wine cellar as proof of that. 

Rare coins can be 10 baggers too and you're not tempted to drink them.  
About 14 years ago when my son "graduated" from collecting baseball 
cards to collecting coins I bought a few Liberty and Saint double 
eagles.  One of the Liberties was a 1866-S "No Motto" in AU53. 

Truth-be-told anyone who's made investments can pick out a few star 
performers and not mention the ones that fell flat or went bust.  It's 
really a question of "do you want to be in the game?"

And remember, investing is a game of great fools - when it comes time to 
sell you need to find one to make a profit.
