i'm looking to buy a gift for my 1 year old nephew.. something to keep sealed and maybe when he old enough to collect on his own he can rip.. or keep sealed or whatever... back in the day... i would just buy the topps factory set...call it a day.. but now it seems like those are terrible investments.. you pay 60 bucks for this years set.. and in 2 years it will be selling for 15 on ebay. it seems like sealed boxes hold their value and even increase if there is a big rookie.. like 2001 topps chrome.. or 1993 SP... anyways i was wondering what everyones thoughts were on the 2010 products.. what sets have all of the rookies ect...

For future value I'd go with something with prospects...2010 Bowman is out this week I think and it has the first certified autos of a lot of big hopefuls. If not prospects, Allen & Ginter is due in a couple of months.

I'm weening myself off modern rips but 2010 Bowman might be my last hoorah.

I always buy the Topps complete set from the year the the child was born. Even if the "book value" goes down I think it is cool to have the set of baseball cards from the year you were born. If you are truely looking for investment get them a savings bond. But the set is something cool I feel.

For my nephew I've been getting him a psa 9 rookie of his favorite Brewer. Three years running now he really seems to be getting into card collecting. I did make a mistake and showed him some vintage Milwaukee players this weekend. That if he gets into might cost me a bit more than a psa 9 Trevor Hoffman.
