I am not familiar with golf cards whatsoever. I am wanting to know what is the most desirable rookie card of Tiger Woods. In 10-20 years what is the card that is wanted and considered his best rookie card? If someone could please let me know I would appreciate a response. A link to one also if you could post one. Thank you in advance.

    I think the three that have hit the radar screen are basically the following:

    1997 Grand Slam Tiger Woods Gold Foil ROOKIE

    2001 TIGER WOODS SP AUTHENTIC AUTO GOLD RC

    and the

    1996 Sports Illustrated for Kids
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    the most desirable is the sports illustrated for kids 1996.

    the only problem is that ship has sailed for an investment.

    here is an article from 2001:

    Hold on to your hats people because you are not going to believe this one. A 1996 SI For Kids Tiger Woods card graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA sold for an astonishing $125,000 this past week. That's right, $125,000! This is not only the highest price ever recorded for a modern card but it is also one of the highest prices realized of all-time.

    the SMR for a psa 10 is $5500. raw are selling for around $200.

    bgs 9.5 gem mint sold for $1199. and a gai gem mint sold for $899. and a psa 8 didn't sell for opening bid $399.

    hope i helped a little

    1997-1998 Grand Slam Ventures (GSV) Champions of Golf Masters Collection

    The only Tiger Wood's card to make the cut in "The Top 200 Sportscards In the Hobby"

    Personally, I'm not a fan of the gold foil version, so I'll stick with Joe Orlando and say the base is just a better card.

    I'm a sucker for SP Authentic across the board, and the 2001 Tiger is a great card #/900. It's currently more expensive, and not his rookie. From an investment point of view, I think it has less room % wise to move than the GSV card.
    Currently Buying:
    2004 Tommie Harris SPX Printing Plate (White Whale will pay top $$$)
    1994 SP Football Die Cuts PSA 10s

    For conversation sake we should mention that Tigers official RC is the 2001 Upper Deck #1 card.

    But Tiger has another card in this 2001 UD Golf product that has shown great potential,, Tigers very first auto card,, his "Players Ink" card.
