I buy cards I like, without "what might go up in value". My pick would be a nice 33 Goudey Foxx.

I would do pretty much the opposite of the suggestions. I would buy myself several VG raw Ted Williams cards with rounded corners that are also off center with a few light creases. Same would apply for Mickey Mantle. You could also get a nice stack of Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, or other star players for $450.

I collect for fun so I would never for any reason pay $450 for any single card on the planet if it was for my PC. I would much rather have 20 Willie Mays raw cards in VG condition that 1 PSA graded Willie Mays card in any grade.

You might be able to pick up a lower grade 53 Bowman Mantle with nice eye appeal. With all the big boys going crazy normal every day collectors are looking at 2nd or 3rd tier cards.

You could land a very nice PSA 8 Johnny Bench rookie. I think it is one of the most undervalued rookie cards in a PSA 8. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks to everyone who commented!

I'm not rushing to spend it all, and will be certain to buy the card and not the holder. The card has to justify the grade.

I think the 1970 is a better financial play. It is a high #, condition sensitive, and an epic season for him, and you wouldn't have to pay a RC premium so you could get a better specimen.

I love the 70 Bench. What are the thoughts on the 69 Bench?

the 1969 is a great looking, 2nd year card .... one of his best, to go along with the 70-72 and the 76 Topps

the 1970, imo, is his best

The 69 Bench is my favorite card with the 71 a close 2nd.
