Prewar v. Postwar & Big Names...?

[Tyruscobb]

I collect (not invest) in baseball cards. I enjoy owning and looking at my cards. They give me joy. I won't make much on them, but shouldn't lose money.

I own several pre-war cards that are attractive 1.0 and 1.5s. They were very affordable and look great for the grades. Same is true with the 3.0s that I own for my 1950s and 60s collection.

Liquidate your 5.0 and 6.0's and buy the low grade pre-war cards. Then replace your 1950s/60s stars with good 3.0 grades. That is how I've come to terms with your dilemma. I'm happy with my decision. I have more cards to enjoy.

Good advice. I have increasingly adopted this outlook and am essentially targeting the types of cards that would have made me happy when I first approached vintage many years ago.
