With the unreal prices we have seen on PSA 7 and 8s of Mantle rookies, Mays rookies and Clemente rookies and Namath rookies, what is your list of HOf and/or rookie cards that still are flying under the radar of the huge money buyers.
Here is my list, none are cheap per se, but still seem reasonable compared to the run ups we have seen in Mantle, Clemente. These all seem like must haves (or at least wants) for hard core collectors regardless of grade
1. T206 cobbs still seam reasonable in PSA 5-7 range for such an iconic player
2. The 1933 Goudey Ruths in PSa 4-7 range seem reasonable too. No they arent his rookie, but there arent enough 1915-16 Ruth rookies around and not many other Ruths from his playing days
3. 54 Aaron still seems like it has room to go up in a 5-8 range
4. 1939 Playball Williams in any grade
5. 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson in any grade
6. 1955 Killebrew in 7-9
7. 1954 Kaline in 7-9
8. 1957 Bill Russell in PSA 6-8
9. 1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain in 7-9
10. 1969 Jabbar rookie in 7-9
11. 1950s football rookie cards of the all time greats, Unitas, Brown, Starr, pricey but not in the stratosphere yet
12. 1970 Maravich in 8 or 9
13. 1972 Dr. J in 8-9
14. 1980 Bird/Magic in 7-9

lseecon, I'm not sure if you saw what the 57 russell psa 7 (and 8) sold for in heritage on thursday; if not, here's a link to it:
http://sports.ha.com/itm/baske...owseThisAuction-120115
I am simply amazed that someone was willing to pay that much for a 7 when all but one of the previous examples of the card have sold for at most half of that amount; I was planning to start a thread about this (or continue the one ryan started last week about basketball unopened) as I am shocked that three days after the auction ended nobody has even mentioned the very high hammer price for this card. By comparison the 8 sold for almost 36k but that didn't really come as any surprise since the last 8 sold for $33,460.00 in november (that one was also in heritage). With all of the ongoing discussion on here about Jordan rookies, the bird erving magic rookie and even Dr j rookies I am very surprised that this iconic card has not been given the same attention on here--everyone has their opinion and is certainly entitled to it and i'm sure many would disagree with me but I feel that the russell rookie is perhaps the second most iconic basketball card after the 48 bowman Mikan rookie.

Rose just popped...PSA 8 16,000
OMG
That was just like $3,700.
Check out this 8.5 that went through the roof recently.
8.5 Rose
I sure hope for Mint Moon Dogs sake he didn't actually sell everything.
Card was dead at $1,800 a few years ago. Man they just all are going up like crazy!
Take it for what it is worth. Those are the 2 best values out there in my opinion

HOF rookie cards from the 50's and 60's in PSA 7 and up. Thank god I got most of mine already. They all are starting to take off. The one I haven't seen shoot up yet is the 55 Killebrew although I'm sure it will, I think the 57 Frank Robinson is compartivly still
A bargain in 7-8
55 Killebrew in 8 has doubled in the last year and in 9 has tripled.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Of the major fb hof rcs the 2 that have not taken major jumps in symmetry with their accomplishments are Unitas and Largent. I bought Payton/Dorsett/Rice/Montana/Young/Marino/Elway/Campbell/Largent psa 9 rcs several years ago. All have gone up exponentially except Largent. Bought the Unitas in Psa 7, price has stayed close to the same where Starr in psa 7 and next generation of qb greats in psa 8 and higher have exponentially moved up as well.
Take it for what it is worth. Those are the 2 best values out there in my opinion
For 1957 Unitas, PSA 7 hasn't climbed as much as the higher grades. PSA 8 was $1800-$2000 in 2014, but now it's $4.5k+. PSA 9 just sold on Memory Lane for $151k. And SGC 92 went for over $14k on Heritage.
With those recent sales, I'm guessing the PSA 7's will start to climb as well.
And people were saying the rise in value for unopened product was crazy..
Now that's just mean!

WTB: PSA 1 - PSA 3 Centered, High Eye Appeal 1950's Mantle
Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere here but I think the 1965 Topps Steve Carlton RC is an undervalued card relative to what a great pitcher he was.
Morgan from that set as well.

Its unbelievable to me how cheap Eddie Murray cards are considering how rare of a player he was.

I think him missing out on multiple MVP awards really hurt his legacy. Also Eddie was usually the quiet guy in the back of the room. With that being said Eddie was always the most feared hitter in that lineup, not Cal Ripken.
FYI before I get flamed for realizing that Eddie was indeed a better hitter then Cal. I am an O's fan and grew up going to Memorial Stadium.

Another card that popped into my mind is the 1954 Johnston Cookies Hank Aaron. Love that it was distributed in Milwaukee during Hank's rookie year.
That would be nice.

Eddie was always more feared than cal any O's fan over 25 remembers that.
Agreed you just never know how some members will react. I mean hell in the Boggs vs. Gwynn discussion someone kept associating Gwynn with PEDs but I bet that exact same guy wouldn't dare do that to Cal.
