Best Long Term Investment for $1000???

Both cards (especially the dugout version) seem like a reasonable place for collectors priced out of the Bond Bread market to go for a scarce early Jackie card.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do own a dugout version of the card.

Good advice and nice card.

1978 #707 is the only regular issue Topps card with 2 HOF rookies on it.

...just some food for thought

I agree the 1948 Old Gold Jackie Robinson is a nice card with great upside. I also think the limited production runs of minor league cards have the same potential. You just need to know which ones to get. Take a look at Baltimore News Ruth, or Joe Dimaggio Zeenut to name a few. I would invest in Ripken, Henderson, Arod, Griffey Jr, Vlady, Trout, Maddux, And one of the best Yankee Captains of all time named Jeter!

FWIW, The Jackie Robinson Old Gold Dugout card was distributed in 1947 (August - September)

I'm curious, why did you recommend this card? Is it rare? I looked it up on vintagecardprices and there isn't a single price for any grade by any third party grader! I'm not sure if this is an error with their site or what. I'm sure the card sells at least semi frequently correct? There are 2 for sell right now on Ebay.
