Default Investment Opinions on t206...

I'm curious to get opinions from anyone that would like to weigh in...

If you had $2,000 to invest on a t206 and you were looking at it specifically from a future price appreciation standpoint, what would invest your $2,000 in?

1) a beater with a rare back like Uzit

2) a premier card like a Cobb Red Portrait in graded condition 1-1.5

3) a common graded PSA 8

Don't know if you can still get into a Mathewson White Cap in EX5, but tough card in that grade and undervalued imo. Good luck with your choice.

I think a numerically graded Uzit is as good an investment as a low-grade Cobb.

I think a common in an 8 is NOT as good a choice as the other two options

Best option out of the 3 you've presented in my mind would be a Premier HOF'er in as high a grade as your $2k will buy.
I would not focus on Cobb at that price point, but rather Matty/Young/Johnson, maybe Speaker, for much better value.

But if you're looking at this from an investment standpoint, it feels like we are at a recent crest of pricing with a lot of interest in T206, and so not a great time to do so.
Some of the run up in prices has been pretty exuberant...

I would suggest that there is much greater upside value in T-cards *outside* of the T206 set at the moment.
