Darren_DuetCertainly I agree that "mint condition" antique cards are a good investment, but I also believe that VG to EX cards are a better investment. When you consider the amount you need to shell out currently for a Mint or better example of an antique card, I think overtime you'll do better settling for a presentable collector's grade.
For example T206 common in 8 or better $800 on up
t206 Cobb red background in 3 $800-1200
My money is better spent on the Cobb.
