What one card or auto, or set would you buy.

Just made some money in the market, looking at a 1933 delong gehrig. Or a Walter Johnson auto. Or maybe just putting it back in the market.

Ideas?

No, I dont want a Pujols rc.

I would go for the Holy grail of all baseball cards......1952 topps Mickey Mantle

I would start by PM'ing your buddy Ryan on your hot stock tip. HAHA Then the 52 Mantle would be a great idea.

Personally I would love to get a SGC 84 1954 Topps Hank Aaron RC

I had about 75-80% of the money I would have needed saved up at one point but ended up having to use most of it for bills so I bought some other random PC autos, etc. with the few hundred I had left

[hilfiger1975]

Lou Gehrig BEST RC...if i could afford it i would have EVERYTHING of his...

No longer a hot stock pick... Rode it up to where I felt that I am foolish not to sell. So as of now, it is overpriced. But the next one I think will be LYG. (Just an opinion, not advise)

Actually looked at the 51 bowman. for some reason the 52 Mantle never appealed to me. Think that it is somewhat overpriced for a card that is not his true rc. But scarcity gives a nice rise in value, but for that money, I think I could get something even cooler.

Depending on how much money....any autograph from the first HOF inductees. Besides that, I'm with Cardboard about the Aaron rookie....or maybe a Mathews.

[the cardboard fan]

^ I considered a Mathews but it is even more and I never really see 7+ copies

[chipper4president]

Yeh, unfortunately both are a few thousand outside of my price range. Even the poor ones fetch a pretty good penny. I saw somebody selling distressed reprints "that look just like the real thing" on the bay (and people were bidding on them). Hopefully they don't show up as the real thing later on.

That is why for something that valuable, buy slabbed, from a reputable company.
