Sorry for the late post Jay, just saw this now.
Yes, there are 19th century cards that are unique, or nearly so, so if you can afford them you take advantage of the opportunity when it's there.
But we have a whole class of investors entering the hobby and do you think they are adding Four Base Hits hall-of-famers to their portfolios? It's more like green Cobbs, 52 Mantle's, 49 Leaf Robbys, etc.
So I repeat what I said. Be patient!
