Most undervalued card, Whos next?

handyman

I recently recieved a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig. Its not worth much but I feel its way under valued. As the trends have gone, (First low pop commons(glad I didnt invest in that), Pre 1930 cards took off about 2 years ago, common caramel wagners doubled in only a couple of years, then cobbs started gaining value, i know this is a run on, and recently mantles have gone up.) What about old Lou, He doesnt have that many cards but they are very affordable. Just a thought. So whats the next fad?
But I love this card!

Not sure which Gehrig you have..... (R319 #92, #160)

They are nice looking cards..... but

The only negative about the 4 Goudey Gehrig cards in the R319 and R320 sets, and also the Ruths (R319 4 poses) is they are all very very common for their age, especially in VG-EX condition. Id estimate there are 2000-3000+ of ea. out there.

Supply and Demand = value. Demand is there but supply is also there, so the value for low to mid grade examples has not really changed in 15 years on the Ruths and Gehrigs in the 2 sets. Same with low to mid grade T206 cards...... way too many out there.


I was selling R319 Gehrigs in the mid 1990s for $500 in VG/EX and thats not far from what they get now (raw).

The best Gehrig for investment if you havent missed the boat already is the 1925 Exhibit card (considered his rookie), or the tough W590 Gehrig also considered his rookie by most. Otherwise the rarer "odd ball" sets are the way to go.

Always go Rare before Starpower when predicting the cards future investment potential.

It looks to me like his PMs are turned on.

'81 Joe Charboneau. Topps and Fleer both look promising!

Limited interest, though.

One other card, the 69 Topps Mantle Checklist. You can pick these up in bulk at times for $3 or $4 a card. I bought 20 NM to NM/MT, some a bit O/C for $3 each last year. Very undervalued IMO, and a neat card.

I think some of hank aaron's cards will spike in value.

he is getting older and people took him for granted during the steriod era.


Also,

Flex Hernandez will be a huge take off in next 3 years.

Jeff Kent is undervalue until hall of fame

Horrors of War is probably the most collected Pre WW2 NonSport set out there. Eighteen sets are listed on the Registry.

Plenty of demand, but still less expensive than BB sets from that era.

I've seen prices for PSA graded cards in the 4 to 6 range increase by 40% in the last 4 years.

My choice would be anything PSA 8.5 or higher from '71T or '71T Greatest Moments. Condition will keep supply low relative to other sets and this is always one of the years in highest demand.

Going the other way on the price/scarcity/condition spectrum, I could see the 64 Topps Giants getting a bump in these recession times due to increased demand. You've got a pretty set, amazing HOF's, vintage, fun SP's, etc. Collectors might look to break into vintage with this set. You can pick up bulk stars for cheap too, I got 10 Clementes EX-MT or better for $4 each. That's pretty amazing for a 64 Clemente.

And a decently priced Mick too, if there is such a thing.

Overrated

The 52 Mantle with out a dought.

SidePocket

I doubt doubt is spelled dought.

My pick is Willie Mays, He is the most undervalued of the 50's era

I agree the Goudey cards are too common although a piece of art that look great, no doubt will hold value for it's significance.

If you want spike and volatile with trend go with modern....

When I think of vintage cards, i think stability not huge returns.

My pick is Bart Starr.
