Looks like Mattingly's cards are going to drop in value.

Just saw on twitter Mattingly and the Dodgers have agreed to part ways. Maybe I can afford to get one of his 84D rookies.

    I don't recall his becoming a manager providing a significant boost to his card value, so wouldn't expect this to do much.

    agreed. won't affect the value at atll.

    While it might not hurt it doesn't help. Being a successful manager would have definately helped increase the value of his cards over time.

    Agreed, I had hopes he would make it to the HOF as a manager. Also out of sight out of mind could hurt the value of his cards.

    I think we have a very recent comparable....did the value of Ryne Sandberg's cards change in the last 6 months?

    As a fan of the man, this seems like as good a time as any for my first ever posting on this site.

    Don Mattingly has many years ahead of him as a manager in MLB.

    Regardless of his managerial career, however, his early cards will remain iconic to all those who came of collecting age during his redhot prime. I would wager that the people happily paying for his 84 Donruss card and his 84 Topps Tiffany card (using these examples as they are his most expensive cards) are not doing so because of his managerial status.

    It would have taken time for his Managerial accomplishments to factor into his cards value, for example he would have needed to be a successful manager for more then 10 years. I would like to add it would make for a small increase say 10 %.

    I also agree with dhess that we probably haven't seen the last of Mattingly as a manager.

    Mattingly fans aren't going to change their opinion of him as a player.

    Maybe the Yankees down the road will give him a chance. Strong fan favorite.

    You mean like how Joe Torre did after he was fired by the Cardinals?

    Don Mattingly has a rabid fan base, especially in the Metropolitan area. His firing will have zero affect on the value of his cards.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    However, Sandberg doesn't need a stellar managerial career to make it into the Hall.

    Bruce Bochy's rookie cards have taken a jump in value with his recent run with the Giants. Before this they could be found in a commons box.

    Don Mattingly is among the most overpriced / overrated in sportscards and memorabilia . The guys in their 30s and early 40s idolized Mattingly , but he'll never be a Hall of Famer and he never won the World Series as a player or manager. Mattingly is less likely to make the Hall than Steve Garvey and I say that as a lifelong Yankee fan.

    Except for how his 84D was a key card in the 80s the heat on which was a jolt to the card market. People pay what they pay and are happy to. The guy is loved by his fans and no one can change that. Not to mention how electric his peak years were to watch, or the class with which he played the game, or how he batted .420 in his only playoff series on his last legs. Sometimes a guy doesn't have to win a WS to have a passionate fan base. What he did and how he did it was enough for many of us.
