I am trying to see If the Fleer and Donruss in psa 10 Bgs 9.5 Sgc 98 .. Would be a good investment I have checked psa and bgs but cannot check sgc? Thanks
I am wondering If the Rookie will go down in higher grade since more and more boxes and packs are busted everyday and sent to be slabbed? Thanks advice needed.

I know who the "Big 3" are, but have no clue who the 4th is supposed to be.

I used to collect Ripken graded cards a few years ago and the Fleer card was typically selling in the $700 - $800 range in PSA 10. One just sold on ebay for $321. I think some others have been in that range recently. The Donruss card was in the $400 range (I think). One just sold for $199 with one bid. Both of those cards have been dropping in price over the last few years.

I can't imagine the situation that would drive the prices of those cards back up. At least not where the price goes up consistently (not a moment in time pop to come back down later).

Even the topps #21 card has dropped from $700 down to the $450 range. The Topps Traded card has held its value around $1500-$1600.

I think Ripken has a good following of collectors, as evident by the Ripken thread, but there is only so much of a market for his PSA 10 rookies and the population will keep going up.

Just my thought.

I have been waiting to take advantage of the recession, but some sports cards hold their own even in this economic climate.
I have had my eye on a 1982 Topps Traded Ripken card. I recall in the early 90s that a mint one was bought by a dealer for $175. He was obviously going to flip it, so I knew it was worth much more. Now, in the slab era, is $150 for a PSA 9 a good deal?

A 1982 Topps Traded Ripken Rookie in psa 9 has been trading from $95 on the low end to around $150ish but fails to go past that price. A Gai has sold for $80ish in Gai 9 mint holder. I would offer the guy $80 and see what he says?

If that was what you were asking, bit confused on your post...

Thanks, I just wanted to how much to spend on a 1982 TT Ripken in PSA 9. In the 1990s they were going for $175+ raw. It seems I can get a really nice one now than ever before.

$150.00 is very realistic as to what you will spend on the 82 TT Ripken in PSA 9.

The rarest ripken cards you will ever see is the one on your left and the orange police version. All the rest are printed in the millions
