JimMeant

For those of you that know this iconic set well...which key cards are especially sought after and expensive to find in high grade; specifically Psa 9? Not counting Jordan of course That one may break my piggy bank, LOL

I recall that based on their placement on the sheet, cards in multiple of 11 are the toughest.

According to Daniel Chang, Vice President of Teddy's Ballgame, collectors will pay major premiums for low population, centered examples. "The cards that seem to be affected the most were 1, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 111, 121 and 132 because they were at the end of the sheet," Chang explained. "They seem to always be off-center, have print problems and edge damage. It is horrible but, when you can find an extremely high-end example, the collectors will pay for it. We can't keep them in stock"
