The Babe for bucks, but have fun too!
You've got to like the Babe--didn't a '33 Butter Cream (2-3 known?) recently bring $111,000 in a REA auction? And he's got a number of very scarce to downright rare cards from the '20's still out there at a lot more modest prices (I hope I run across his '23-24 Exhibit--duplicate of the '21, but with borders--at the right time for cash flow). But sometimes you've got to buy some cards just because you really like the guy, even current players (at least I do--Im almost ashamed to admit on this forum that I bought an orange refractor Brennan Boesch rookie last year, when he was going great guns, and now that he's not pressing, he's doing quite well again so far this year. He's just a favorite player of mine. But despite the card's "rarity" in that particular form, I don't expect it to be an investment. So long as he sticks around in the 'Bigs, and is any good at all, I'd probably never sell it). Hey, sometimes it's just got to be fun!
