That would be a great one, but it will cost over 10K--there is a psa 2 going in a auction right now at 16K with the juice----I think lower grade 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth's and T206 Ty Cobb's would be a good investment for under 10K.

you're right...you won't go wrong with centered cobb/ruth cards

I couldn't agree more but they are going up quickly it seems.

Best guess, other than the generally accepted Ruth/Gehrig/Cobb triad, would be for well-centered, mid-grade Cy Young, Nap Lajoie, Walter Johnson and Eddie Plank cards from mainstream sets like T206, Cracker Jacks, etc.

Also, some specific sets have cards that I think have potential over 5-10 years, such as Diamond Stars Bill Dickey, low # and high # cards, in higher grade, the #1 Lefty Grove card in high grade, 1934 Goudey Foxx, 1938 Goudey Feller, and many others similarly situated in mainstream sets.

There's resources out there, like the top 100 or 200 cards in the hobby, that can give you guidance on what is viewed by some/many as the most desirable or valuable cards, many of which an be had for under $10,000 in very desirable shape.

Good luck!!

Better yet, figure out what they're going to add when they change it to the Top 300 Sports Cards in the Hobby and buy the highest graded PSA examples you can afford of those 50 cards.

You will get as many answers as there are posters. Which I am sure will be helpful.

So people now want to invest in baseball cards without being card collectors and without any knowledge of what they should buy. Does that concern anyone?
