Investment Q...
Ok, for investment purposes let's say you had the choice of say a Demmitt St. Louis in rough shape we'll say worth 2K today or a much more common but popular HOFer T206 Cobb vg/vgex that also sells for that same amount.
If you were an investing man, which card would like be a better buy if resold in 5, 10, 20 yrs+ from now? (note: for the purpose of my exercise please except my 2k estimates for demmitt/cobb) Not trying to compare these two per se but generally want to know if you think mainstream HOFers vs. a rarity card like Demmitt Stl. would be a better investment

My Take
While it's only a guess, I would think the mainstream HOFer would be a better choice than the rarer card.
On another note, next time we have a thread asking why we have so many members yet so few that actually contribute to the discussion, someone should reference this thread. Responding to a thought out thread/question with "lol" is pretty insulting. Others piling on is even worse.

Robert,
What is amusing, is that you have someone on the BST wanting to trade a T206 Demmitt for a Ty Cobb. r/ Frank Quote:

Sorry, but the original question posed made me laugh. Hence the LOL.
Next time I'll complain about an ebay seller who charged me .39 too much in shipping. Is that better?

If two 100 year old cards are priced comparably today, who here could possibly offer a meaningful opinion as to their relative worth in 5-10-20 years?
