Default You have $5000 to spend...

If you had $5000 to spend today and you could buy only one card. What card would you be on the hunt for?

Today -Me - 1933 Goudey Ruth

I would get the nicest T206/T213 Red Cobb I could find. If it is a T206 I would really prefer a Old Mill back.

If I had $5,000 USD today, then I would go after the nicest 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie that I could find.

If I was starting from scratch, I would go after at the best T206 Cobb bat off the shoulder that I could find (probably a PSA 4).

If I start with my current collection, I would go for a T206 Mordecai Brown Cubs shirt PSA 6, since I'm missing that card and really like it.

I think a nice looking 51 Mantle in maybe a 2-3 is a good value for 5k. But if I had to look for a card I don't have at exactly 5k I'd either go for a yellow 33 Ruth or the nicest signed 50s Mantle I could find.

Right now it would be an e101 Cobb. Could change in an hour, but that's the one right now. A nice T206 Red Cobb is a close second.

I wouldn't put $5,000 into cards right now. I'm disgusted with what's been transpiring in the hobby, and more than a little shell-shocked. I'd buy as many ounces of gold as I could.
