Best Card for Under $1000
First off, I live in Canada, so baseball is a far second to hockey cards. That being said, I have been looking at buying some vintage and a few local collectors are considering following and grabbing a few as well. The debate we started was, what would be the best card we could get for under $1000. Meaning, if you could only buy one card for your collection, what would it be? Would you do a low grade high end RC, or a high grade semi star? What would you buy and why?
Also, take an investment stand point into consideration as well...... We are all certainly novices, and would love to hear some of your thoughts...

I would go with a 1932 Babe Ruth Sanella Astra or a 39 Ted Williams Play Ball in the nicest condition I could for the $1000.
Both are iconic players and a very good argument could be made about either being the best of all-time. I don't see a huge upside to either card but can't imagine losing money on either one. EDIT: Sorry just realized I posted cards from the wrong era. Would still pick a Ted Williams card though. Last edited by bnorth; 07-10-2016 at 01:06 PM.

Since this is a post-war forum, I'd go with one of the following
1954 Topps Aaron (PSA or SGC 3 level) 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle (PSA or SGC 5 level) nicest you could find would be about a grand on each .....

Both cards are high on my want list as well but I would also suggest some HOF's from the 52 Topps set. To me, and maybe it's just because I own some, but they seem like they gain steady growth all the time.

If you prefer hockey and want a 1k card with upside potential I would pick up the nicest Gretzky RC you can find. For baseball I agree with Ben on the 39 Williams.
