Stick to iconic names.

+1. Try to find (key word “try”) technically strong, well-centered big name HOF’ers... Ruth, Gehrig, Shoeless Joe, etc. that should always have a market. The higher the grade, the better. Quality will always have a market. Don’t fret over paying too much (within reason) and don’t be afraid to pull the trigger. Worst case scenario is that you’re “stuck” with a really nice Ruth... big deal. It’s better than being stuck with a piece of real estate or a vintage classic car you can’t unload IMO, as there are no upkeep or maintenance costs.
