Excellent thread. I agree with Adam and Peter, although the basketball side of things has a caveat, I think. It was mentioned elsewhere on this board at some recent point, but the question is: will the influx of Asian collectors lead to increased demand of vintage basketball? It's tough enough at times to figure out how demand will shift on a single issue, but when trying to figure out larger trends due to a continent and the various cultures within it, it's a lot of guess work. Perhaps the new collectors will find appreciation in Dr. J, Wilt, etc., but there's no guarantee they will.
And for this situation, I would also prefer to spread the money around to a variety of cards if it were my choice. But strictly Jeter vs Babe, I would go Babe.
