Hey, you watch it right there, Mistuh!

Remember, the Yanks are in the AL East -- they got a shot.

Hey...I am tried and true Yankees fan for life...BUT...with the likelihood of Tanaka being done...it's not looking good! And yes...I will never write them off...just don't think they have a chance even if they were to make the playoffs...not likely this year!

As for hot right now as you already stated that the CJ 14's are besides that I have seen a slight increase in auctions towards the 33 Goudey's & the CJ 15's a bit as well. I've been watching them a bit recently just to see if it would be another set I would dive into. I decided to stay away at the moment. Besides that Ruth's are and Mantles stuff seems to always have good money coming in and the higher the grade the more money they have been bring more recently.

In conclusion

33 goudey's HOF/Difficult cards brining a better premium as of now
CJ 14's really hot and even some of the 15's
Ruth n Mantles

I'd agree that early Ruth (Red Sox) or any Ruth for that matter is hot!! Also mantle '52 topps. Some of the rare backs (Red Cross T 207) and rare E cards like the E 103 set seem to be holding well when they are made available.

Cold: Most cards post 1975....haven't seen anything less than a 8 in a PSA or SGC holder bring "new" money at auction in quite some time. But I'll admit, I don't really follow the new stuff....

All pre-war HOF rookies are doing quite well right now.

But the most drastic "hot" to "Luke warm" transformation is the 1980 Charlotte O's Ripken cards. From late 2013 to early 2014, there have been over 20-25 1980 Ripken ML cards sold. The first 10-15 were on fire w/ record prices each day...I think the fire is finally dying out.
