Postcards and Exhibit cards should definitely be something you want to look at. The Exhibits are a little more plentiful and I don't see their long term valuation skyrocketing. (at least in the next 20 yrs or so). But they can be great and a less expensive alternative to a Goudey. And postcards are very cool to a lot of us collectors. This was bought on this forum for a little over 1500 dollars, less than 2 yrs ago. I think it will be worth more if I ever want to sell it. But I bought it because I like the photo and card. As others have said, if you buy wisely pricewise AND you like the card, you should be fine.

Exactly. And whatever you do... don’t buy photos! I have done horribly. ��
They were literally giving these away... not in packs of tobacco or gum... some other time. But... not sure when or who. I had to buy all of mine.
Anyway... goudey is prob the safest.. you will not lose money. That said, imo.. the upside isn’t huge at that dollar as you are looking at a 3-3.5. There are many of them. The 1921 exhibit would prob be my card if choice at that price point if i was doing cards. Like others said.. buy a pretty one of whatever you decide.. not just in grade.
For upside... i like photos(i put money where mouth is). That said, like everything else... you need to buy the right photo. I would start small and educate yourself first. However, if you can get into a type 1 photo used for a card or a Poignant piece of memorabilia of Ruth, that would be a safe bet. Make sure it is a good image either way. I would probably always be here to bail you out if needed if you bought something like this right
Good luck and welcome to the sickness young man!
I do love cards.. just sayin’
