Lesean McCoy Auto RC?

JAG85

What do you guys think is Lesean McCoys best autographed rookie card? Or rather, which card has the most potential for growth?

Also, I have noticed that there is not a big difference between his 2009 Exquisite Auto/ Patch card out of /599 and the same card out of /99. Any ideas on why this is so.

Thanks for your help.

Some of the topps inscriptions book ridiculously high and have runs of like 5, red ink or something

Do you mean Score Inscriptions? If so, there does seem to be a ton of variations among those cards.

Potential growth is a dangerous thing given that McCoy is a running back and has a short shelf life. It seems like most modern RB's are hot while they're in their first year or two then fade away in interest and value as they near the end of their career and/or retire.

Personally, I'd find something I like and stick with it and not use modern cards as an "investment" vehicle. For every Pujols or Brady that hold their value, there are tons of guys like LaDainian Tomlinson, Larry Johnson, Jamaal Lewis, Shaun Alexander and the like that were hot and have little or no interest anymore.

Good points! I generally stick with vintage, but every so often I find myself being drawn into the shiny stuff.

Only one of those is going to the Hall of Fame.

A lot of reasonable McCoy autos out there.


My current pick is Maurice Jones-Drew....On tap to be leading rusher this year. Has 70 career touchdowns.
