Centered PSA 5's are ok for COBB OR RUTH FOR THE REST YOU WANTED CENTERED 7's or 8's. 5's of Jackie, Mantle, and Mays are everywhere they always have been. Centered high end 7's and 8's nope not so much. Most Collectors and Investors Specifically always want these or if they have them they never want to let them go, the demand will always be there. 5's have much less upside in 50'-60's, remember you said investment. Quality is better over quantity.
The Rest of the Cards I never would consider as an investment.

This is spot on. The only comment I will make is that I think the threshold for Ruth/Cobb can be lowered for their t206 or 1933 Goudey cards. I would say the same for the 1952 Mantle. I think all 3 are legitimately great investments in any unqualified grade.
