If you had $5,000 to spend

What would you buy if you had $5,000 to spend on cards? I'm not saying I have the money, I just want to see what other board members would do. Keep it strictly graded card related. Would you purchase just one card or buy a few singles? Try to use current VCP pricing as of today and get as close to $5,000 as possible.

    I'd buy the five (5) best Olajuwon 86-87 Fleer PSA 10s I could find.

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    ^Jordan PSA 8 is a lot more than $1200. It is around 1600-1700.

    I used EBay closed sales.

    Jordan PSA 9 3300
    Wilkins PSA 9 450
    Barkley PSA 9 250
    Mullins PSA 9 200
    Olajuwon PSA 9 150
    Ewing PSA 9 150
    I. Thomas PSA 9 125
    K. Malone PSA 9 150

    Spend the extra $225 paying a premium for centered examples

    I have two thoughts. Id either do this...



    I'd buddy up with 2 other CUers and get this pack (o0AAOSwCypWoWim">52 Topps). We can draw numbers for the cards in the pack based on the pull. I know it is a PSA5, but I've always wanted to open an iconic pack like that of a 52 Topps.



    ...or this...



    If it was just me...I'd go with this pack (57 Topps)

    Likewise. It is the only star from 63 that I do not have in 8. Mine is 8/oc. It was part of a large collection I bought many years ago.
