    1986 Barry Bonds Topps Traded Tiffany RC

    the rarest rc card of the greatest hitter of all-time
  • I'll take Babe Ruth as the greatest hitter of all time. He didn't need a laboratory of designer drugs to put up his big numbers. Bonds is a proven liar and cheat. That alone will plague his card prices just like they do Alex Rodriguez, in my opinion.

    The 1989 Bowman Tiffany Ken Griffey Jr in a 10 could grow. It's in really limited supply and Griffey is very popular and headed to the HOF next year. If there wasn't 30 billion 1989 Upper Deck Griffey rookies, I would say that one might make a big move. It has everything going for it but production numbers. It could still grow some, but nothing like it did in the past when BGS 9.5's and PSA 10's were pushing $3000.

    I can see the 1989 bowman tiffany griffey 10 grow too. Griffey is extremely popular and with him going to the hall of fame next year interest will grow in his cards.

    One of the toughest to get in PSA 10.

    Absolute dollar basis = 1980 Topps Henderson PSA 10
    Findable dollar basis = 1989 Bowman Tiffany & Fleer Glossy Griffey PSA 10
    Percentage basis = 1984 Donruss Mattingly PSA 10
  • Griffey may be the most popular card but it I can't see it going much higher in lrice, even when he goes into the hall. Everyone already owned that card. Henderson rookie in a 10 is crazy expensive simply because it's low pop so people turn to a 9 which is still crazy affordable and seems to only have jumped about $50 higher in the past 3 years. Mattingly has had a nice jump but looks like it has stopped moving for now at about $600 but there have been tons of 10's that have popped within the last two years. Out of all the 80's cards, best potential has got to be the 82 traded Ripken in a 10 I feel.

    This is a tough one because so many highly desirable cards have moved up a ton in recent years.

  • hammeredhammered Posts: 2,671 ✭✭✭
    I think the Tiffany cards of the steroid users will climb significantly
    Bonds, canseco, McGwire
    And Clemens 84 fleer is a steal in PSA 9 at $100, and PSA 10 at $300+
    I can see it climbing to where is used to be at $400/$1200

    But only 106 PSA 10's of the Bowman Tiffany Griffey have been graded. I have one and am not letting go of it. Great BGS 9.0 crackout. Had subs of 8.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5. The centering at 8.5 didn't make any sense as it was perfect on the front maybe 52/48 at worst and no worse than 60/40 on the back. If memory serves only 5,000 were produced. This card will be $3,000 within a year, mark the tape!

    Wait I thought Beckett grading was much easier and considered inferior by most. HUH?

    You have a great roi there having under $300 for it, but it's an $1800 card and (if) it goes up to $3,000 in a few years, after fees, $1,000 profit isn't that great of an investment, IMO.

    If you make $1,000 (after fees) on an $1,800 card in three years you are making almost 15% a year. What sort of ROI do you need for it to be a good investment?
