Jim, bide your time carefully, put the money where you can't easily get to it, to avoid making a snap decision.

Make a list of things you would really, really love to own. Really brainstorm. Have fun with it.

Narrow the list to three.

I know you asked us what we would buy, but hey, it's doesn't matter what I would buy. What matters is that you have 400 smackers, and this is all about you and what you would like. Again, take your time, and as the venerable knight said, in such words, in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "But choose wisely."

Have a Happy New Year! ---Brian Powell

I would scour eBay for a couple of great random vintage lots. keep some of the cards, sell enough to break even and start again. Then flip some cards on Comc and buy an auto I really like.

His name is, Daikin. Just can't figure out who he played for? He is versatile as he can play 2 positions but he does look different when doing so.

In all seriousness, buy whatever you like. You will be the collector of that card so enjoy what you have.

If you are a fan of a player or a team buy the best ONE card within that $400 you like
