If you were an investor with a limited amount of card knowledge but an unlimited amount of money and looking to diversify your portfolio, which set name would catch your eye: "Cracker Jack" or "E135"?

Same question was asked about modern cards on Blowout so I'll use the same image there... ;-)

I love the Cracker Jack cards---The selection of Hall of Famers (including as always Ty Cobb And Joe Jackson)--I had 2 showcases of CJ's at the last 2 Nationals and now I am down to 1 Showcase---Just sold a PSA 2 1914 Cobb last week---I think the prices started to go up about 3 years ago. I bought a near set from Steve S. on net 54 and continued to buy CJ's where ever I could.--The Hall of Famers are in high demand and there are many short printed commons especially in the 1914 set. As far as VCP, it really is too low on most all the cards---All the big boys sell well over VCP.---My Favorite 3 sets are CJ's , Turkey Reds and T206.---As far as prices jumping up, Try to buy a Goudey Babe Ruth or a T206 Cobb----And if you really want to see a price jump, Good Luck on the Ty Cobb Post Cards. Check out some of the current auction houses, prices are crazy.

It probably only takes a few new collectors with money to really move the needle on a set as rare as the 14s. Then other collectors like myself who haven't pulled the trigger but have had an eye on them start jumping in and prices go nuts.

I think CJ prices look like a bargain compared to Magic the Gathering cards.

Cracker Jacks are like everything else though in going up some, but I have seen a bit of a fall in 1914 commons prices, or maybe that is just the ones I am watching.
