davidcyclebackDiamond Stars are nice, so are Delongs. Goudeys are nice but they're awfuly plentiful and there's no secret with them... Don't shy away from mixing in some SGC graded cards. If any grader has investment potential, they would ... Be aware that PSA has some current grading issues (WIWAG). Not saying don't buy PSA or anything's wrong with PSA or anything like that, but being aware of current issues never hurt ... Diamond Stars are one of the few Pre-War baseball cards where you can find the original paintings used to make the cards. You will see the paintings from time to time ... I'm guessing your investment judgement here is that the 1930s cards are currently underrated, the Diamond Stars are both underrated as a 1930s issue yet plentiful enough you can pick up a bunch (There being no point in trying to invest in a card so rare you can't find one or where you can't buy enough to consitute an investment). I don't predict how cards will rise in value, but I don't see any obvious holes in this judgement. If you make some good buys, quality Pre-War cards are a relatively safe investment, in that their prices aren't going to drop to 0 any year soon. I'd just say stick in some SGC or DeLongs or even a good deal Goudey if you get a good deal.
