Im really looking for some good advice here.

Lifelongfan · Jul 22, 2009

I have a son who is 9 years old - I am looking for something that I can get him for his birthday or special occasion related to collecting. I would love for this to be an investment type item - something that when he is ready to sell (20-25 years) it will return a nice amount. Im thinking vintage autos or nice graded stuff - - any ideas--thanks. Looking to spend between 200.00 and 300.00 for each item.

p.s - he is a huge Red Sox fan.

go back and buy Topps Factory sets from his birth year til now, then start buying one every year.

Its a nice present and most of the time the factory sets go up.

Get him a box of bowman chrome from '01 to '09 for every year since he's been born. That's one for every year he's been around.

Great idea on the sets and that Yaz is super nice - Thanks.

Can't go wrong with a low grade Ted Williams RC [39 Play Ball]

psa graded vintage all the way man

plus the kid can look at the slabs and see the cards instead of a factory sealed set or wax box

Get him a Tiger Woods autographed card.

Lifelongfan · Jul 22, 2009

Some really cool ideas guys...

championMan · Jul 22, 2009

Any auto Albert Pujols RC will be good investment. By the time your kid get to teenager, Albert will be chasing or passing the HR record. That will be perfect time to sell too.

$200-300 will probably get you a PSA/SGC 2 slabbed low grade '41 Play Ball Williams or a higher grade PSA 6 1956 Topps Williams if you're looking to go vintage Red Sox.

Albert probably won't be chasing the home run record

but he will probably go down as a legendary player

I think the spx which can be had at at psa9 for about $500 is one of the most overlooked cards around.

you can pick up one of these for around $200
