Great thread.

Like Bob, the E121 Ruth would be on my list.
But the other items in the running would include.

• T3 Mathewson or Cobb.
• Type 1 Conlon Photos (Shoeless Joe, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Gehrig)

I view Conlon photos as the baseball equivalent of Ansel Adams. As a collector, they just stand out but I also think that over time they'll gain greater appreciation.

A low-end one of these. (pictured card is not mine)

Hope you guys are right on the autographed vintage and agree Ted Williams needs more recognition. I'm a Ted fan since he's from San Diego and had been wanting to pick up either a PlayBall or 54B when this popped up. It's beat to hell, but figured I couldn't really go wrong with an autographed version of one of Ted's better cards

I can't believe I'm the only person on this entire board that would spend 50 grand on a bunch of different cards rather than buy 1-3 cards. I feel like I'm completely alone in a banquet full of investors. :rolleyes:

Come on guys, chime in on this thread if you would rather take $50K and buy a bunch of stuff rather than on an investment piece.




P.S. If the sarcasm emoji didn't make it clear to you, I'm being sarcastic with my first statement guys. I'm from Jersey, it's my first language.

You can pick me up, Andy; with your sarcasm bus. I am going your way.
I tend to zig, when others are zagging.
