My advice is if you want an investment, buy a low-cost index fund. If you want a good looking card, buy the Mantle.

I don't know why people ask investment advice on a baseball card forum. Do they ask baseball card questions of their investment advisor?

Considering the bigger names: I would go baseball over basketball all day. The Mantle rookie is always breaking records and there is a trickle effect on his other cards.

Would I invest in cards? Only money I could afford to lose and not for retirement.

I don't think you'll make much on either one. The time has passed. But if you don't want to lose money, I'd say the Mantle.

The investment advisor might have a fairly solid answer these days, depending on the baseball card question.
