If you had $750 to spend...Cobb or Jordan

[autograf]

There have to be WAY more Jordan's out there in multiples to the sum of all (4) Cobbs.........I bought boxes of 1986 Fleer BKB for $12/box in the day........each box would make (3) complete sets of cards and (3) complete sets of stickers with a few leftovers. Sold the sets with stickers for $8.00 each and doubled my money. But....if I'd kept a few boxes, I'd have done better, huh? While I don't think they were produced in 1988 Donruss Baseball numbers, they are in no terms scarce....I'd take the Cobb, any Cobb, any day. Still interesting to see all the responses..............

Neither, T206 are going for top dollar now even if down a little bit but have to wonder when or if they will go up as there is never a shortage so if you get a Red Cobb it may not move at all. If you really want to get a red Cobb take your time and get the nicest one you can for the lowest price and then it should be worth more than what you paid. Jordan is a sweet card and sometimes a nice 8 or 9 go for well below current value so again if you can get one at a low price can't really lose.

I personally would rather have the Cobb, but the Jordan will get relatively more "vintage" over the next 25 years.... the cobb is 100 years old now and will be 125 years old in 25 years, while the jordan is 25 years old now and will be 50 years old in 25 years.....

I'm not sure what that argument means, but when I was writing it I thought I meant something

Answer to the question: Cobb

But, for the sake of conversation, how about:

PSA 9 late career Aaron or Mays
Or a mid career Nolan Ryan PSA 9
Or a 1953 Topps Satchell Paige, maybe could get a PSA 7
Or a 1967 Seaver rookie PSA 7
Perhaps a nice Foxx or Lefty Grove

Ok, I'll go the other way. Jordan. But only because I already have a red Cobb. A green cobb though.... or whichever of the bat on/off Cobbs I don't have yet.

Let's see, I can have a card of arguably the greatest player ever from one of the most collected sets ever that is already over 100 years old that celebrates our national pastime, or a basketball card from the 80's. Now that's a tough one for me. Get back to you.
