Best non prewar mainstream card to invest on

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.

Signed Dr. J rookie team issue:



Jim Brown 1958 team issue:



1966 AP Paul Hornung, Sandy Koufax:

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.

Title of thread needs to be changed. It sounds like you're looking for post-war advice.
