in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Say you had 1250.00 to spend and you were looking at the following cards. What would you rather have. I know some of them sell from diferent ranges in these grades, but pretend that they are in the 1250 range based on eye apeal.
Ok here is my list, what would you rather have....
1938 Joe Dimaggio Goudey Rookie PSA 3 high end.
1951 Bowman PSA 1 Mickey Mantle
1909 T206 Ty Cobb Bat off PSA 3 high end
1933 Goudey Babe Ruth PSA 1-2
1948 Bowman Yogi Berra PSA 8
1953 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 4-5
1954 Hank Aaron PSA 6
1955 Clemente PSA 6
1960 Mickey Mantle Topps PSA 8
1963 Pete Rose Topps PSA 8 65-35 Centering
1957 Bart Starr PSA 8
Thanks for the interest.

    Dimaggio's rookie is either the '36 WWG or the '35 Zeenut, depending on how you feel about minor league cards.

    The Cobb and the Ruth are the most likely to appreciate, the cards post war the most likely to depreciate, if that is a factor. Especially the ones from '60 on.

    I think the Aaron Rookie, or the Clemente.

    Do you think the 1938 Dimaggio will depreciate?

    To me, it's an easy no brainer: Bart Starr RC in PSA 8.

    I'd gladly pay $1250 for one right now! It's currently more like $2000.

    Well I am building a 1955 Topps set in PSA 6, so I would say the Clemente. Aside from that, the Babe Ruth would be a good choice.

    1954 Aaron. 5-10 years from now more people will appreciate how great Aaron really was.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    I'd take the 1954 Topps Hank Aaron PSA 6. Oddly enough, I really enjoy the bright orange background.

    Oops, I misread the grade on the '60 card, nope, not that good. Just became a dad yesterday and "having a couple" at the moment, lol.
