in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

Being a vintage collector I have not bought a box of cards in some time. I have enjoyed the posts recently about some of the products that have come out. I will be going to the Naxcom.com show tomorrow in Waikik and would like to purchase a box of the new stuff and see what I come up with. I need suggestions on what I should consider and what prices I can expect to pay. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. This is the first card show in Hawaii in over a year. GAI is here to take submissions. I'm sad no PSA rep.

Thanks, Ed

    I am a dealer and if you can find topps heritage there go for it. it is rising every day. other than that anything basketball(except for ud rookie exclusives image what a rip off) If you see 03-04 topps chrome basketball go for it! it is rising every day.

    Get ready for topps cracker jack. and topps series 2 baseball.

    I'm in agreement with Kuhlmann - being vintage, I think you would really like the design of the 2004 Heritage - plus you have a chance to pull some nice inserts - the flashback cards are informative and the clubhouse collection is pretty cool - in 2 boxes i pulled a Maddux and Pujols GU card - chromes look really nice - centering can be a bit erratic tho.

    Thanks for the suggestions. What price range can I expect on the 2004 Topps Heritage and Crome Basketball?

    I paid 75$/box for the 04 Heritage baseball - I understand it's up to about 95$ - but ya know it's out on retail now from what i've heard tonite - Walmart e.g. - no premium there if ya can snatch it before someone else - by the way - I like the 2003 Bowman heritage which is actually a 04 product which is less than 3$/pack at Target - 11 pack retail box for 30$ - has some nice cards - the design is simple and classic albeit boring a bit - it's the 56 Bowman design that never was in concept - I'm trying to put the auto set together - these autos are prospect players

    Avoid DIamond Kings unless you SEE the dealer crack the case. Once the dealer hits the 1/1, the rest of the boxes are devalued.

    I recommend the Topps Heritage products. Even the vintage collectors like this product and the set keep their values (for the most part).

    good suggestions from above, Ill also add that if you are looking for long term rookie investment look
    for 2003 bowman chrome draft picks and/or 2003 DLP Rookies and Traded. The DLP has 2 autos and
    2 GU a box plus a load of numbered rookies. The bowman chrome will deliver an auto and a jersey
    per box and a 1:3 box chance at a gold refractor which are on fire if you hit the right one.

    Have fun and make sure you let us know what you pull!
