Go after individual cards...I like the horizontals...or just specific players/poses you fancy...even better if they are HOF'ers...SL'ers are tougher and will hold value well in the future.

If you are just sticking to fronts...the above criteria will be a good investment in your enjoyment and beyond.

If u think you'd like to collect the backs...go after mid grade tougher backs...avoiding the real toughies unless you want to spend a lot of $$$$....go after the BL's...the Carolina Brights...the hindu's...the EPDG...these should hold value well...again...much better if the fronts are H'ofers.

I'd avoid "fads" like Mullin, Titus.


As a reformed T206 backs collector/type collector...I love the idea of going for a run as this encompasses lots of diff styles of collecting all in one.

Horizontals are definitely cool....Here is one from my collection that just came back from SGC....
