Guys, let's not take this so seriously. If you had a free $5K that you had to spend on a card, what would it be? Simple. No saving the money because the hobby is wrought with fraud right now, blah blah blah. Just pick a card with a hypothetical $5K that was left to you by some Aunt that passed and she stipulated that you have to spend it on a card. What card?

Probably '07 HM Taylor Cobb or '07 Dietsche Batting Cobb.

Most importantly, nothing where value is mostly tied to condition/grade.

I would buy the card(s) that I would most enjoy owning. Any effort to predict future values is, in my judgment, unreliable.

I would buy the nicest 1956 Topps Mantle I could find for the price. I have always loved that card and currently need it for my set.

OK, Andy, I get it. If I had five grand, I'd want the nicest T-206 Ed Walsh I could get.

One of these ...

T206 Cobb Bat On PSA 4.5
T206 Cobb Bat Off PSA 4.5
T206 Cobb Red Portrait PSA 4.5
T206 Young Portrait PSA 5
T206 Johnson Portrait PSA 5
1933 Goudey Ruth PSA 4
1933 Goudey Gehrig PSA 5

Ship may have already sailed on many of these but maybe you will get lucky.

Thanks Brian! Nice pick too by the way. I always liked the Walsh image.

I would buy the best Gregg Jefferies rookie card I could find. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I still think that card's going to hit it big!!!!!
