Ok it has been a while for one of these...... Let's compare a nice 75 Brett psa 9 (not mini) that you get for $3,200 compared to 4 psa 9 Jerry Rice Rc's you could buy at $800 each......Which has more value in 5 years?

    I had a 23 year old co worker the other day who does actually watch sports ask who is George Brett?

    The Brett. It's a condition sensitive card in a very popular set. I can see the rice cards picking up
    A little steam and if it's actually four Rice cards to the one Brett then maybe they collectively are valued higher but I'd still think the Brett is the better card to grab future value wise. Football may have supplanted baseball as the favorite sport to watch but baseball has always been king when it comes to cardboard.

    A "nice" Brett all day, every day. One thing I've noticed over the years is that a good amount of the PSA 9 Bretts are surprisingly lacking in the eye appeal department-- PD, tilt, and centering issues. The card is also the headliner in one of the most popular sets of all time, drawing demand from singles collectors and set builders.

    Ah..... A vote for the Rices!

    One factor to consider is the market for a $3000+ card versus $1000 card. I know there are a lot of big players out there, but the PSA 9 1975 Brett falls into a tweener category, a iconic card but not a elite iconic card.

    Let's be more specific, which purchase will yield $4000 first? I'm betting on the Rices over the Brett. Following the rule of big numbers, it's going to be harder to get the Brett to $4000 than an $800 Rice to $1000. Both have had a good run and I think they are near their max value for a while.

    If '75 Topps regular sized cards in unopened form have virtually dried up, then the expectation would be for raw examples making it into a PSA 9 holder to command quite a premium, wherever they might be discovered. I'm not certain the same could be said for '86 Topps Football if that product is still trading hands, even at a limited pace, it's still an option.



    I think the Brett is getting closer to 4K, then 5K, and could still be on a higher curve than a Rice rookie card which routinely seems to appear in multiple PWCC auctions each month.

    I'd personally take the Brett. But strictly value-wise, I think the Rices would do better.

    Go with the four Rice cards.

    If I had thought about building a portfolio for future investment?



    I think I would've probably considered having both.



    I don't collect much FB - so I'm partial to the Brett.



    Does anyone have a tracking record on the Rice card vs the Brett? VCP?

    #1 NFL WR all time vs #2 MLB 3B all time, seems pretty equivalent based on position.

    #1 greatest NFL player all time vs #55 greatest MLB player all time, easy decision.

    I don't see pops of 9/10 going up significantly for either, PSA is rough on both sets with their colored borders.

    I thought this was going be to a be a 75 vs 75 battle, Brett vs Jim Riceimage.
    I'll be one of the contrarians and go with 86 Topps Rice x 4 PSA 9 .

    I think it's an interesting comparison. What if we throw in a 1980 bird/magic in psa 8 x 4 into the equation? What is the thought now?

    +1 for brett

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
