Thought experiment: You have $25,000 what to do.

Who knows but at least once a week for the past 20 years I get some doomsday prophecy from someone selling a newsletter about how it's all about to go to hell.

Ruth. If you want to diversity, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, early Jackies.

I'll buy Gehrig as a secondary but not the other three over the next 6 months

I would have 2 manikins in my house. One with a Wade Boggs Red Sox game worn jersey and the other with a Wade Boggs Yankees game worn jersey.

1948 Leaf Jackie. Maybe 2.

I would try and find the “under appreciated Ruth Cards”. They have all been going up but some like the 1921/22 Ruth throwing pose have been spiking for an extended time and have gotten to point where they will go up in value but not as much as others. And the 1933 has done the same
So I would look for 1921 to 1928 for some comparative values(the Oxford confectionery, the American Caramel holding ball, the exhibit postcards, )


Cobbs are also good, real good but to me Ruth first

Well, I am not a doomsday prophet who thinks things are going to hell. I hope the economy and the stock market do well and that the Fed and Congress get inflation under control. That will require some hard choices that I don't know if the American people are willing to accept. I am a patriot and stakeholder in this country.
