For what my two cents are worth, I don't view baseball cards as investments either, they're first and foremost a hobby. That being said, 1952 Topps has a long track record of increasing in value historically, and I don't know of any reason why that won't continue.
From a pure investment perspective there are better ways to invest your money. If you're looking to provide a tangible piece of nostalgia for your grandkids that might increase in value, 1952 Topps is as good as any option in the vintage baseball card sphere.
The cards are beautiful, scarce (relative to most sets that followed), in high demand, and are anchored by the most important card in the hobby. That seems to me like a good recipe to at least preserve the value of your money.
