I think the recent sale of the Memory Lane t206 Plank card has shown that baseball cards are not always a safe investment.
Personally, I would "invest" in low-mid grade key cards - Cobb bat off shoulder, Goudey Ruth etc. Collectors are always looking for these cards - even people outside of the hobby.
I would avoid any low pop commons and I would especially avoid cards from "The Black Swamp Find". As more and more and more and more and more are sold the price will only go down. It's safe to wait until they drop in price a bit.
