    Hey guys, sorry if there is already a thread discussing which prizes should be invested in, but I couldn't find one.

    I have between 20k and 25k Altador Cup prize points and I am trying to figure out which prize(s) to invest in.

    Altador Cup V Commemorative Stamp = 5k
    Altador Cup Collectors Jacket (wearable?) = 10k
    Slushie Slinger Waitress Wig (wearable?) = 10k
    Mutant Yooyu Plushie = 15k
    Team Krawk Island: Journey To The Top (book) = 20k

    Any help would be much appreciated. I think I am inclined to just get 4 stamps and some other random cheaper stuff...but any input from other people would be helpful :)

    I would go with the stamps too. I'm sure if you can hold onto it long enough the prices will certainly rise.

    One would think that plushies and books would also increase in value?

    Also, wearables are pretty popular, that's the only reason I listed them :p

    Wearables are popular but they probably won't increase in price as much as the Stamp/Book would. I'd probably do the Stamp thing... maybe the book since it's probably worth more starting out.

    With the amount of your points, stamp or book is your best bet to invest on. Currently, four stamps will sell for the same price as the book. It is far more "easier", however, to collect stamps so getting an avvie or trophy will seem more attainable. The top book readers will already have gotten the book, so it will take much longer for the book's price to rise than it would the stamp.

    Buy a few of the stamps. Previous AC stamps are at 2+ million now. Let it sit around for 1-3 years and it will really be worth alot more. :)

    Stamps for sure. I invested in a couple already and I'm excited.

    2 years worth of excitement. Whoopie.

    As for the jerseys, I don't get why everyone likes them. I wish they were basketball ones. Haha, not trying to start a soccer feud. :p Peace.

    hmm..i am wondering if collecting the stamps would be a good move this time round..seems like there are tons of it in the market now..was it the same for the other AC stamp?

    if too many users are keeping them, the price might take really long to inflate to millions..

    The other stamps definitely were a little less available, but not much. There's not many around because they are in people's albums and SDB's/galleries hiding away. :)

    And it would probably take 2-3 years.
