True/Most Valuable Rookie Cards of a few modern players....

ArnyVee

Guys, I'm trying to get some info on a few players.

Does anyone know the true (or most sought after/valuable) rookie cards of these guys....

Bronson Arroyo (is it 1995 Topps Traded?)
Jose Contreras
Livan Hernandez (is it 1996 Upper Deck?)
Mike Lowell (is it 1998 Bowman Chrome?)
Jorge Posada (is it 1994 Bowman?)
Luis Gonzalez (is it 1991 Upper Deck?)
Fernando Vina (is it 1993 Ultra?)
Rolando Arrojo

......I want PSA 10s (since the modern stuff of these guys won't be that expensive at all) , but want to make sure that it's a "basic" card and a major league (non minor league) card.

Thanks for the help!

Without looking at anything I would throw this out there.

Bronson Arroyo (is it 1995 Topps Traded?) Sounds right
Jose Contreras - He is 1-10 all of his rookies will be equally worthless soon
Livan Hernandez (is it 1996 Upper Deck?) 1996 Finest Gold (it is considered a true RC cause i think its his only card in the set)
Mike Lowell (is it 1998 Bowman Chrome?) Leaf R&S
Jorge Posada (is it 1994 Bowman?) 1994 Bowmans Best or BB Ref.
Luis Gonzalez (is it 1991 Upper Deck?) 1991 Ultra Update
Fernando Vina (is it 1993 Ultra?) no idea on this one
Rolando Arrojo

Thanks Allen. I don't know much about the newer stuff.

For Posada there's a 1994 Bowman's Best #106, Bowman's Best Blue #29 & a refractor version of each?

Also, for Mike Lowell wouldn't the Bowman Chrome Refractor be worth more than the Leaf R&S?

Allen

I wasnt sure if you wanted refractors or not since you mentioned regular cards.

The Posada you want is #29 of the regualr or refractor. I would think you could pick up the refractor pretty cheap as I bought the Billy wager RC Ref for $5.

On the Lowell the refractor would be a nice pick up, but the Leaf R&S is a pretty solid card. The refractors kind of have a ceiling- if you look at Glaus his Ref. is $40 and his Leaf R&S is $80. So if the player ever gets pretty hot, I would think leaf r&s would be the one to own.

More questions about the new stuff.....

Lowell has the Leaf R&S with a "true blue" at the top of the card and one without. What's the difference with those? And, which one would be worth more?

Also, Luis Gonzalez's best rookie looks like would be the 1991 Topps Traded Tiffany, right?
