If you came across some extra dough...

I tend to be more of a quantity guy. For me, overall, having ten $100 cards is way more fun than having one $1k card..... but I realize I may be in the minority on this one.

Would add an E121-80 Ruth

spread it around to the 4 T206 Cobbs, E95 Philly Caramel Cobb and last but not least Allen and Ginter N28 Comiskey

I say that I prefer this method but I'm not sure if it is just the fact that I never save up enough money to buy something really nice.

If I just happened to find some money, I'd like to put together some relatively inexpensive set, something not too easy, but not impossible. I like the design of the C46 cards and only have one, so maybe that set

I think I would shoot for an E90-1 Jackson in vg+

t200 set! Then design/build a display! Then make room for it on the wall. Then hang it and put back up the stuff I took down to make room for it. Then spend all day looking at it...Im ready for my money now.

I would probably go with a T206 Plank. Would love to have one of the ones that have been going in the 60K range in recent auctions. The ones in the $20-25K are just too rough.

If I was looking to spread out an investment for a two year horizon, I'd probably buy gold or silver, both of which are IMO very cheap right now...but if I knew that much I'd be rich by now.

I like the Dahlen and Lundgren T206 variations at a decent price and high grade.

My goal of 100 different St Louis type cards would turn into a goal of 100 different St Louis HOF types.

That would mean that you need the Lou Brock rookie card with him in Cubbie blues. LOL

I think you should increase quantity. Commons going from $.50 to $1 each means you doubled, and you could buy a couple thousand nice commons pretty solid priced atm. Quality is pretty surefire but will only be 20-30-50%, commons could be much better on a per card basis for what is there.

All depends on quantity of money and let's assume I don't need it for other life needs, I'd probably do both - increase quality AND quantity. Again, depends on amount and other factors.
