Neither, is my answer. Invest in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, real estate, an education, a home... not ballcards.

In terms of pure investments, I very much agree with you.
However, in terms of a hobby as an investment I would pick the Cobb over the Jordan rookie. That being said, I was in a similar situation last year and very much looked at Cobb cards. However at that price range for a graded card, I chose a T206 Matthewson card as I could get a better quality card for the money. If I had that type of money today to put into my collecting hobby, I would probably go after an Old Judge card.
Best of luck with your decision.
