I was in high school when they did their split, in early 2010. I took every penny I had and bought BRK.B, and it's been the best financial decision I've made thus far.

Interesting question as I am in a similar spot right now.

It depends on what you're looking for.....

Relatively safe/low risk (possibly low growth) - go with the biggies. Playing days Ruth & Mantle

Little more aggressive - go with modern who's legacy is ensured. Jordan (aside from the pumpumentary), Brady, LeBron, Trout

Maximize ROI with some risk - young superstars. Luka, Acuna, Zion, Mahomes.

As stated earlier, just my opinion and if someone says they know what things will look like in 12-24 months, they full of s**t

Just to add in something interesting here.................

I remember when Apple did a nosedive. They had a massive recall somewhere around 2005 or thereabouts.
I had a bit of a "life issue" back then, and lets just say I was in difficult times.

I used to play gin with wealthy friend of mine back then for money. As luck would have it, I had a iPod mini back then.
They issued a massive recall, and I remember telling him point blank "Mr. X you might want to buy Apple now, because they literally have the digital market cornered" (think MP3) "They are going to fix this recall mess up and their stock will rebound". I even said it would rebound in just a few weeks.
Well Mr. X was a bit of a high roller, he didn't want to buy any stock unless he could invest well into the big 6 figures. (and he wanted to do so on his own terms, understandably)
Mr. X called me 6 months later in tears. He told me "If I had invested like you said, do you know how wealthy I would be right now?"

I told Mr. X , "Well I told you to do it".
His next question (as if you don't know where this is going) was "Well if you knew so much, why didn't you invest then".
I'll never forget my answer, "Because I was fucking broke". LOL

A mere $500 back then would have been a crazy amount now. But, what can I say...............

It goes against every bone in my collector body, but PSA 10 rookies of established stars seem to be bulletproof.

I hate to say it, but buying Project 2020 might be your best way to get a return on your money. I bought an Oldmanalan Koufax about a month ago from Topps for 17.50 because I thought it was a beautiful card. It is now selling for 200.00. These cards are on fire. Another way is to run around to Target and Walmart and buy up their 2020 Bowman Baseball. There is a Yankee prospect that is driving that product crazy. If you want a stable investment with low but steady growth, buy the nicest 33 Goudey Ruth, t206 Cobb or 51 Bowman Mantle that you can find for the money.

If I was investing it in stocks I would buy a mutual fund tied to the S&P 500. Rather than bet one one company, bet on the top 500. I think we are going to see a strong rebound in your time frame.

1986 Fleer Michael Jordan in PSA 7 centered. You could purchase 5. As the 8’s and 9’s continue to rise the 7’s will follow suit. Or the Sticker in 8. Same theory. One thing I will guarantee, they will never go down.

I have the sinking feeling many of these comments wont age well.

When your neighbor is buying cards because he can flip them next week for a profit, the jig is up.

No offense to MY neighbor who I met THROUGH THE BOARDS!
