Best non prewar mainstream card to invest on

[The Detroit Collector]

My vote on what I actually think would rise, would be for Type 1 photographs. I have already seen a large attraction to them through AH's recently. More and more information is coming out on how to recognize type 1 photos and there seems to be a new thirst for them.

If I could pick which one I would personally like to rise, it would be supplements. They are the closet to cards out the options. The photos and artwork are beautiful. As Rhotchkiss mentioned buying one slabbed is already expensive.

Team issue photos. They are poo-pooed as type 3 by PSA so the jump in prices hasn’t hit them like type 1 photos. Also AP news library small photos. They are pc size and dated and attributed in the photo so you know exactly when they were made and by who.

I'm from a newspaper family, so I'm probably biased, but I think front pages like these are a really undervalued collectible. Nothing in my basement gets more stares than these old framed newspapers. Even my daughter and her friends can't help but look and read parts of it. I paid about $100 each for these unframed and would have paid twice that. I'm getting to the age where I figure if I can't display it, I'm getting rid of it!

I'm with you on that. Having cards in a safe deposit box or, worse yet, some company's vault, blows.

It's the stuff on the walls that I see every day that make me happy.

Looks like Type 1 photos is the kind of the poll so far. It’s a coin flip for second place between Pins and Supplements. This authentic trimmed Cobb went for over 5k last night with spirited bidding of over 70 bids. I enjoy larger stuff to display and show, but I also get worried about theft and other things that could happen displaying valuable items.

I have recently picked up Type 1 and Supplements of Ty Cobb and personally and I find them to be very attractive pieces and having room to run some as more surface in PSA slabs to the public. Granted I think the Type 1 need to be compelling photos or have a story, but I believe in them both. Here is a recent M101-2 Ty Cobb Sporting News Supplements PSA Authentic pickup of mine.

Congrats on the win. I was the 2nd highest bidder.

Seemed like a decent price but not my wheelhouse.
