That's not in the list of names I would imagine younger collectors embracing as a key card as they come up. I don't put Koufax in Clemente or Mantle stability at all.

Personal opinion.

I strongly disagree!


PWCC got $9250 last night, shows Sandy is solid.

This hobby is loaded with Jewish collectors and Jewish collectors usually have $$$.

With that said Koufax WILL always be in demand, like Clemente is for hispanic collectors.

Toledo's SGC 7 is a much better card than that ebay 8! By far...

Koufax will stay in demand because he is the best pitcher of the postwar era, just like Clemente is the best rightfielder of the postwar era. Being Jewish or Hispanic has very little to do with their popularity.

His religion has a role in Koufax’s popularity. No doubt about that. I collect him because he is Jewish. Same as Hank Greenberg, Al Rosen and Shawn Green.

Cobb, Ruth, Jackie, Clemente and Mantle are the only 5 vintage baseball cards I’d ever consider buying for investments.

I’ve found those are the last ones people ever want to sell from the PC and the first new collectors/investors are looking for.

Wagner has to be in there. Probably Gehrig too.

I don't think that was his point; the point seemed to be that that collecting base will not increase drastically over time leading to gains in the card value. Therefore, that's not a reason to invest in it.

You can always start.

Couldn’t hurt.

Koufax will stay strong imo......who knows if he goes up or down in value long term. My guess is up a little.

And I chose to invest in Cy as a 1 of 1 highest graded..There will always be a Cy Young award..(as shown before)..
