I would be looking for some of the extremely rare Mantles now (and there are some which are not so far out of the mainstream)--focuses shift over time, and demand tends to come around to rare and significant. You want to be on or in front of the cutting edge, unless you're one of the big boys who toss hundreds of thousands around like it was nothing. Those buying the better '52 Topps Mantles for huge bucks now are on the trailing edge, but they aren't concerned with investment or appreciation--only with having the best available.
Just my two cents worth,
