JimBI would recommend HOFs. I think with craze of registry based sets, commons in grades vg/ex 4 and above are overpriced in relation to HOFs. And these prices trickle down to the lower grades too. So relatively speaking, I think HOFs are the good deals right now and commons are a bit overpriced - at least in relation to HOFs. It may be strange to think that HOFs still have room to catch up to commons, but I think that is the case. I know you aren't collecting high-grade cards, but I think these values make their way down to the lower grades too. I think that when a common in PSA 8 goes for half of what a HOF goes for in the same grade, there is something off. Don't get me wrong, I understand pop rarity. I have paid high prices for some of my E93 commons in high grade, but as a rule I think HOFs should be significantly more valuable than commons. If an Easterly is worth $2500, then a Cobb bat off should be worth 40k in my book. But it probably sells for closer to 20k these days.
Just my .02.
