Owning a rainbow is usually a collector’s goal, rather than an investor’s.
Couple of reasons, but the main one is that you won’t sell a rainbow for more than the cost of the individual cards. (And will usually have to break it up and sell separately to maximise the value.)
For the same reason, it doesn’t matter how well they perform. The value of the rainbow will only ever reflect the sum of the cards. So if they’re a fringe player, the value will match that.
One tip - start with the 1/1. It’s much easier to pick up the rest than fill that hole. (Bear in mind if the next card is /5, and you have one, there are four other people potentially building that rainbow too, and one of them might already have the 1/1.)
