AROD Cards?

PSUguy

Assuming you didn't already sell your high-end AROD cards, what do you do with them now? Burn them, give them away, sell them for pennies on the dollar???

Thoughts?

Buy them for pennies on the dollar of course.

I'm pretty sure people who were still collecting ARod after all the steroids allegations won't stop collecting him now...

halosfan

Nope .. I am hoping more of the hard to find issues surface now so I can finally get my set over 50%

The first steroid confession from a few years ago effectively halved the price of his 1994 SP PSA 9s. It looks like they've plummeted even further in the past month, crashing from a price in the $150 range down to below $80.

Wow, really? I stand corrected. Well, sit corrected anyway.

May be a good time to buy A Rod cards. Because I believe we are getting much closer to some alleged "saints of the game" being exposed as ped users. Current and former. Someone, somewhere is going to blow the windows out of some glass houses.

Isn't there a trick with a pool and cards? I thought I saw it on an 81 thread here recently.

So what Alex cards do you all have to part with?

If you really want an A-Rod card, then maybe, but you'd still be better off waiting.

If you think you're investing, then no, don't do it. It didn't work with Bonds cards.

I've got a 1997 Denny's Hologram Alex Rodriguez that I've been trying to move on COMC.com. No takers at 25 cents.

I think you are spot on. Bonds cards kept going lower for years. A PSA 9 1987 Fleer peaked in the $160 range. It can now be had at anytime on thepit.com for $9.50.

If I were considering buying Arod cards I think looking for his most sought after card in a year or so would be the way to play it in the highest grade possible. If you look at many of the players with tainted records their best cards have bottomed out years later and are some what on the mend.

This is a falling knife that I think will go lower in the short run.

No interest in A Rod here. What I had was sold long ago, Oct 2000. It is a combination of comical and sad though watching a few folks dump cards of a once beloved(not universally beloved, but Alex has/had his die hard fans) while breaking out the pitchforks and looking to burn him at the stake. Personally, I'd wait if I were them. This hasn't all played out yet PED scandal wise. It's bound to get much bigger. And is really going to test some fans of truly beloved players IMO.

I have his 1994 Upper Deck Auto RC in a BGS 10 - Pristine (10, 10, 10, 9.5 subs) w/ a 10 auto grade. Hmmm, what to do with it?

Thoughts? I know, I should have sold it years ago. What about now?

Dpeck100

What is the pop on that card?



BGS 10




Is this the right card?

halosfan

Cross it to PSA and hit me up

LOL...I dare you...

PSUguy

Yes, that is the card.

PSUguy

Why cross a BGS 10 to a PSA 10? Isn't PSA 10 more along the lines of a BGS 9.5?

ydapd

don't like Arod at all, that being said, I've always wanted to own a 94 SP Red Holoview and will pick one up if the prices go low enough.

and thus the reason I dont buy modern to invest in

1994 SP PSA 10 is still a pop 39

Sold one a couple years ago for 3k now I have a BGS 9.5 I don't think is even worth $300.

True, BGS 9.5 does not hold up to PSA 10 for this and Jeters SP RC

Didn't work with my 1981 Topps. They're still as banged up as ever.

That a$$-clown chouser owes me $500.

With more modern cards you gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.

Personally I don't have time for that crap and don't buy any single cards post 1980.

But for those of you stuck with A-Rod -- I hope you have a very prosperous relationship.
Just like the Yankees.

It looks like the BGS 9.5 is going in the $300 range. Do you remember what that card would sell for at its peak?
