A pack of 52's every day...

[AnkurJ]

I’d try to find and buy an Action comics 1.

There are so many things one could buy/invest in if they had to spend $10,000 in one day in 1952 that I'm sure the value of today would beat any value cards had today, but strictly speaking of cards and/or memorabilia, I for sure would buy a couple cases of Topps high numbered 52's as well as as many Ruth RC's, Planks, Cobbs, Robinson's, Mantle's, just to name a few, as I could afford/find.

"My bike had a flat. I had to walk to Woolworth's to buy my pack. I didn't get too many good ones but I did get a Jansen and that little guy the White Sox got from the Athletics a couple years ago...I'm cutting 2 lawns today so I can buy more this week..."

I was lucky I got to the drugstore when I did. They had only a few packs left.
I got a Warren Hacker--one of Cubs top rookies and a Whitey Ford. Ford was a great rookie in 1950 and his been in the military since then--hoping he plays this year!

Ford will never make it. I've heard he and that young CF and 2B party too much. No way he can keep that up.

If you spent the $10,000 on gold in 1952, what would that gold be worth today ?

I agree. I think the new CF is overrated. He'll be a flash in the pan. I traded both of his cards for a Walt Dropo. Now, Dropo...he'll be a superstar and lead those Red Sox to the world series...you'll see!
