1997 Bowman Chrome Roy Halladay RC PSA 10 Trending Up?

orioles93

I was checking out the VCP for the 1997 Bowman Chrome Halladay Rookie Card in PSA 10. Only 2 are listed on VCP in 2015 and sold at $168.05 and $157.49. In 2013 and 2014 it seems it was selling between $20 and $60. And in 2011 and 2012 it was selling anywhere between $80 and $150. Is this a card that you think will go up more, more than what it is at now or in 2012? If so how high could it go? Or do you think it will trend back down to what it sold for in 2013 and 2014? Below is the VCP info for reference.

Looking at his stats, at first glance he looks like a borderline HOF'er with the high win % and 2 CY. However his numbers also look a lot like Ron Guidry.

The last one that sold on Ebay sold for $66 in July.

I know it doesn't matter but he played in the toughest division on crap teams for
most of his career.

I don't know that he'll actually get voted in to the HOF, but he will get some consideration. His credentials put him more worthy than some other players who are in, but you don't get in by comparison alone (certainly no automatic admittance for "Well, player B was better than player A and player A is in, so the votes are therefore obligatory for player B...")

Guidry didn't win a Cy in both leagues and have 6 top 5 finishes. Halladay is in on the eye test alone to me. He's also 98 games over .500 for his career.

The card is the interesting thing to me though. It's one of the last years without the wacky parallels throwing everything way out of whack. These prices seem just about right. Were print runs big in the late 90's? Couldn't have been, right?

1997 was the first year for Bowman Chrome, so I would expect a pretty hefty print run. That said, it's likely to be less than 1998-2000 based on unopened availability. There were four versions of this card, so that may account for some of the variation in pricing if they're not differentiated in VCP (base, refractor, international, international refractor)

Again, Halladay will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Not that it changes the point of this thread, but I sold 2 for over $200 right before season started in 2012 that aren't shown on your list.
