Just a way for me to keep track of what I'm doing with my collection .... and inform anyone else interested

Living in the UK .. the selection of Baseball cards on Ebay that I can find without paying a huge shipping fee for are limited.

But .. every once in a while I scan around and see what I can pick up for under £10 including shipping (about $18.00 these days)

Two lots that I got recently but put aside (to enter into one of my databases when I have time ) are


1) A 60's and 80's Lot of baseball hall of famers and superstars. The vintage cards are Hall of Fames, but slightly lesser quality - the later cards are of Cal Ripken, Nolan Ryan and the like .. but overproduced years.

2) A bunch of game used/Auto cards from modern releases (gee... how many different brands did Fleer and Donruss crank out these last few years ?) with some Rookie's and Stars .. but no superstars.

...

Each cost me the same price.

Which way do you think I should invest more in ?

I might start tracking the two lots and create an Index to see which one gains the most value .. would be interesting to see.
