Victor Martinez Rookie?

Putty · May 24, 2004 8:51PM

Which one to collect? My initial searches on Ebay tell me the only ones worth anything are the autographs. Any suggestions for which card is his true rookie and may hold the best value in the long run? I have been following this kid all year and he is putting up some amazing stats..

I agree Vic is a great one to collect and to follow his career. As far as "value" I don't know if there's much long-term difference between issues with 20 million mint copies in existence and those with only 15 million. (Numbers made up, but the point holds) I guess you're on the right path looking for truly limited issues like the autos.

What is his Rookie "card" year? Im showing his 2K1 Donruss cards are $40 and $60.

And you say collect. Are you "collecting" or investing? There is a difference. Well in my book at least. If you are collecting why would you care about the worth? So what if all of his cards are only worth $2.

Here is his whole checklist. Prices are lo/hi N/A is no price availiable.

Thanks. I will send my football, hockey, and basketball lists later. Can you do racing also?

In terms of RCs, his best is the 2001 Elite. It was one of the "Extra Edition" redemption cards, so no more will be pulled out of packs, and according to Donruss, only 410 of the 1000 made were actually distributed. However, some undistributed cards were apparently used in later years for "Recollection" autographs, so be wary of those as they aren't actual RCs. They are still valuable, though.

I had to scroll down through 6 screens to see all the different cards of this player who has been in the majors a very short time. And I have a big monitor! Second-year player Victor Martinez already has more different cards (many of them no doubt numbering in the millions) than Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron COMBINED in their long careers.

This is why I hazard a guess that unless you find a truly limited issue (like the Elite where someone said only were 1,000 printed) the notion that his cards are investment material is a claim better left to the Home Shopping Network. Collect and enjoy, yes ... though it looks like even getting all of his first couple years worth of cards is a mammoth undertaking ... but invest? I don't think so. Not when 99% of these zillions of cards will still be mint when young Vic retires!

Go with the Elite XRC. If he were to go on and become a Hall of Famer I would guess it would be three or four times the price of the Donruss Class of 2001 since that was a generic set that was made to sell Bobble Heads. The 2002 SPx AUTO isn't too bad of a card either if you can pick it up for a lower percentage of Beckett than the Elite.

Thankx to all that have shared there opinion, I have taken a look at most of the cards listed and I prefer the 2001 Donruss elite. It is a great looking card. Again I thank everyone for there opinions
