I don’t think there’s any doubt he will be a HOFer. Not sure his first year of eligibility either but has his cards cards started to tick up? I remember the hype of the next Jordan etc and he was a superstar in his own right. I’m sitting on 50 or so assorted rookies ranging from regular Topps issue to Chrome, Finest, Finest with foil, Skybox, SPx and a few more. Up or never up? Discuss?

Unfortunately I don’t have any 10’s. A slew of 9’s, a couple of 9.5’s but no 10’s

From what i have heard, he's not officially done just yet. A 1 game contract for a proper send off is eminent during the 2021 season during the second set home game run is/was slated. Obviously things are constantly changing, but these type of things/contracts happen all the time and I definitely think Vince Carter warrants this extenuating contract.
Isn’t that Dirk Nowitzki’s Rookie year also?
I don’t know
1998 topps chrome is a great set with Vince, Dirk and Pierce all easy 1st yr HOFers.

I remember when Vince Carter dunked over 7 foot 2 Frederic Weis at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. To this day, it is the best dunk I've ever seen.

I grabbed a number of these back in early '19, so my wish is finally coming to fruition...I knew the paper version (not Chrome) was a tough card to 10 and was pretty confident they would one day explode up...just figured it would be closer to HOF induction
So is it still another 5 years until he’s eligible?

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.
Excellent....very nice call...
How much were 10s in August of 2018 when you pushed off on Bryon Russell.....um i mean when you advise buying the SP authentic Carter rookies?
$170-$200 each. I was able to buy as low as $130 even earlier. And yes, in this market, every investor looks like a financial guru when in fact, they probably just got lucky. I'm not that smart, but using a few simple factors (large fan base, international fandom, iconic moments [Weis Dunk, Dunk Contest] long NBA career, Future HOFer, Nike athlete) Vince Carter seemed like a safe choice.
And on the flip side, I purchased a 1996 Chrome Kobe RC PSA 10 for $600 and sold it for $900 in 2018.
Today, it is nearly a $15,000 card.
