Best non prewar mainstream card to invest on

[Snapolit1]

I disagree on pins. Hakes has wonderfdul catalogs full of beautiful pins. They leave me cold. Even cool old Gehrig pins just don't move the needle for me. Often kind of small and boring imagery. I think will always be niche.

Pins arent going anywhere.

Yeah, I've never understood why so many people dump pins in with cards and other flat items. They do less than nothing for me as a collectible but to each his own.

I am not sure about that. A Cobb Sweet Caporal PSA 7 sold for $2100 last weekend in REA. A 7 sold for $1200 16 months ago. It is a fraction of the card price for a T card but not an inconsequential amount. A 1949 Jackie Robinson went for $4080.

A year ago I paid $330 for a beautiful SC Young pin. I think that will turn out to be a very good deal.

Ok, sure, the SC pins are definitely an interesting collectible. Was thinking more general pins not part of a set. Are there many vintage pin “sets” that i am not thinking about? Ornate pins (cool but rare)…orbits (not very attractive).
