I think this is a pretty interesting question. I've never looked at cards as investments, however I do recall a time when I used to look at T206s as 10 dollar bills. That was a while ago when common T206 cards in Vg-Ex were selling for that price (crap, I remember picking up commons cheaper than that). Of course that was before the grading game took over.
Perhaps another way to look at this is by selecting cards/sets that are the most commonly collected among hobbyist (vintage and not). '33 Goudeys come to mind.
