Allegheny playing cards. Only one of each ever made as prototype. Can't get rarer than that.

Stamps are fascinating but in my experience a bust as an investment. I remember in the late 70s my Dad an I milling around a stamp counter in a department store in the mall. They had the famous three zeppelin airmail stamps in mint condition, something like $600-$700. Last time I checked forty years later they are going for maybe $1000 for the three of them. And forget trying to liquidate a large collection. From what I hear you might be getting 5 cents on the dollar of catalog value for some of that stuff.

I always did want the plate block of the upside down Jenny planes, but think that ship has sailed (not to mix metaphors).

The problem with cards like these is they are too rare, which usually results in little demand.

Just read through the thread to see if anyone mentioned Koufax, Clemente, Ryan, or Rose rookies. Guess we were all off. If you had invested 10k back in Jan you probably would have earned a 100-300% return depending on the card and grade you chose.

I think the 51 Mays and Mantle, 39 Williams, 48 leaf Robinson and Paige, 57 Brooks and Frank, and the Goudey Ruth's are all decent buys right now. And don't forget the 86 Jordan. Time will tell of course. Maybe someone will bump this again in a few months and we can see how we did. Or in a couple of years.

Best buys today are the Star Basketball rookies of Ewing, Barkley and Akeem. Look and see what the Jordan is going for now. I still believe these are the true rookie cards.
