Signed 1930s cards are undervalued at this time. I supect it won't last. Signed 1950s Topps and Bowmans are fairly plentiful. For the best 'investent' make sure the signature is sharp and clean. As DJ noted, signed T206s and Cracker Jacks are rarer as the players died earlier. Many of the 1930s-40s players lived into the 1980s and beyond.

The 1933-4 Goudeys and Diamond Stars are amongst the best cards to be autographed. The cards are attractive on their own. but they are also bright and light so the signatures show up well. Cards like the 1955 Bowmans aren't great for autographs, as they are dark and the many signatures don't show up well.
