Just offering my 2 cents...I remember a wise man, Scott Levy (Hi Scott), once saying regarding cards, "Buy the best cards, in the best condition, from the best sets, of the best players, that you can afford."
...I find the same philosophy to apply to Memorabilia also. IF we're talking about investing in the category...Look for the best tickets, best photos, best bats, best uniforms, best autographs, of the best players, that you can afford (and also focus on particular seasons, moments, events, milestones). On top of that, I recommend collecting players that you like and will enjoy collecting.
Years ago, I focused on collecting Derek Jeter items. I acquired a few special pieces, including a Game Used/Signed Rookie Bat, and a Game Worn (Home Pinstripe) Full Uniform from his final season. Both items have been loaned to the Yankees for exhibit in their Museum. Regarding "Memorabilia as an investment", they both have appreciated nicely.
