10,000 to spend at national what would you buy

Buy what you like to look at without concern for investment potential since no guarantees in that regard. And, if mainstream stuff, you may want to keep VCP data handy to ensure you don't pay more than you would via eBay or auction houses.

Hobby history and its nearly continuous growth over decade after decade is shouting out pretty loudly, though. I wouldn't bet the farm on baseball cards, but it's a very attractive area for some diversification in investments.

I can't argue with you, Larry. I just think trying to forecast appreciation of various issues, even where based upon prior performance, is risky business.

And, to actually respond to the original post, if I had $10,000 I didn't need I would probably buy the best CJ Jackson I could afford.

I'd stay at home and wait for the next stock market correction, then go shopping there.

But if the $10,000 came with the stipulation that I had to spend it at the National, then aside from my project, I'd pick up a few nice Allen & Ginter's. I've always liked the look of them.
