Posted By: <b>Scott Mt. Joy</b><p>Ok I have heard enough of the doom and gloom in other threads and I was wondering if someone had money in the next year to buy 5 cards valued at $500-$2000 each today, what would you pick. The plan would be to hold them for at least 5 years then sell, what would you advise? The only rule is it has to be a card/type that has sold at least once in the last 2 years. <br><br>I really only know the exhibit and clemente markets (i'll stick with pre war) but in those areas I would pick-<br><br>1. Any 1931-32 Exhibit <br>2. Any 1933 Exhibit<br>3. 1938 Dimaggio 4 on 1 Exhibit<br>4. 1929-30 Ruth 4 on 1 Exhibit<br>5. 1927 Gehrig Exhibit<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>T206 Cobb Green VG-ish<br>1933 Goudey Ruth 144 in a 3-ish<br>E95 Cobb G-ish<br>1921 Exhibit Ruth<br>E103 Matty or Johannes<br> <br><br>Yeah, I kind of took the easy route here. Cobb and Ruth will always appeal to baseball people and general collectors even if they aren't seasoned vintage collectors. The E103's are a little further into the vintage collector arena. A Matty T206 pitching or T3 maybe should have made the list in place of the Exhibit Ruth.<br><br>J<br>

Posted By: <b>Jimmy</b><p>I have seen almost every Mantle card do well this year and we should see more of that in the coming years. I also feel that pre-war Hall of Famers will gain more respect again when the economy turns up hill.<br><br>Jimmy
