Advice Sought...

What Julio Rodriguez cards would you stockpile?

Do not want to debate if you believe he is the next anything... just want to know which cards to buy... can't afford the crazy 1/1 stuff out there.

    I don't consider myself a modern expert, but basically I'd stick with "firsts", auto's, and serial #'d. So 2019 bowman gets the first bowman card designation on it, and 2022 topps series 2 has a short print rc. I imagine his base rc will be in 2022 topps update. So, you can buy those in October when they are released for retail prices, and at least get some base rookie cards of his, while you chase an auto/serial # card. I've found it to be more financially beneficial to just buy the cards you want when they are released, but it's more fun chasing a little like when we were kids, so I buy some retail boxes as well.

    Thank you!
    While I would love to Crack a case I would not even know where to get then. I have not bought cards since 1995 but this group of kids has me interested in acquiring some.

    Appreciate the response.
