Strictly investment. That is the conversation. Prediction is not required. It is a guess with reasoning. I am curious to hear the reasoning behind your guess given this exact choice, and only this choice, with only this motivation.

Ruth is not on the discussion block and not an option in the poll. It is not about the player. Only about the card.

Geez relax. Also, sorry to inform you but prediction is required...To invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future.

I am going to be that one guy who picks solar panels. Over time you should be able to get your money back and buy one of the cards anyway, right?

I voted for the Cobb for two reasons:

First, I try not to purchase cards with grades less than EX

Secondly, the '52 Mantle is WAY overpriced!

Your cost is always jacked for Topps 52, so you have to pay more up front, in my mind. Your return is mitigated by upfront cost. Also T206 collectors, collect different ways. They will do HOF subsets, or team subsets , or you can just pick the 4 poses. There will always be demand for the Cobb.
