Underpriced graded cards..

In your opinion who or what is very underpriced based on performance scarcity or something else.

Here are a few in my opinion:

1) Ryan Zimmerman rookies

2) Mark Reynolds rookies

3) Philip Rivers Rookies

4) Kevin Durant Rookies (except exquisite)

5) Chase Utley rookie autos

6) John Smoltz tiffanys

7) Randy Johnson rookies

8) Chipper Jones 1991 OPC

9) Drew Brees rookies (except for the contenders)

Work hard and you will succeed!!

  • Mark Reynolds? Are you serious? 200+ K's a season and a .250 batting average does not scream underrated.

    this sounds crazy.. but tennis cards. I'm not a huge tennis fan.. but i would think the rookies of the huge stars that everyone knows should have some value. You can buy it now an andy roddick rookie bgs 9.5 for a buck on ebay. sampras 91 net pro psa 10 is worth about 5 bucks. 2003 federer psa 10 is less than 10 bucks. I just bought a nadal 03 net pro psa 9 for 5 bucks including shipping.

    Another odd ball rookie is Mario andretti 1969 panini. They aren't usually on ebay.. but when they are you can get one for about 10-15 bucks. I think he passes the pop culture test where people who are not racing fans or even care know who he is and asociate him to racing. Considering how few of these i've seen.. i think the card should be worth more than 10 bucks. There is just zero demand for his cards.
    Scans of most of my Misc rookies can be found <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.collectors.com/m...y&keyword1=Non%20major">here

    I think some of the low population '71 commons are underpriced (or others are overpriced depending on your perspective). Some cards with ~50 populations sell for $200+ while others with the same populations sell for ~$50. I'm not sure why. It doesn't tie to SP vs non-SP either.

    OP didn't really seem to answer his own question, but rather what are underpriced card in general.

    Underpriced graded cards on my list would include 1970s Topps PSA 8 RC's (grading cost cards), Topps PSA 10 cards of 80s World Series Championship team other then the 84 Tigers (some of that Tigers effect...al la $400 commons...has to rub off on them sometime), modern tough PSA 10's with little demand (like holograms, 1987 Donruss, 1986 Topps Baseball and 1990 Topps Baseball) and 1991 Topps Baseball Desert Storm (was impossible to find....now you can find PSA 9's around grading cost, I've seem PSA 8's in lots at a couple bucks each).

    Being undervalued doesn't make one a good investment...usually the opposite. That's the part about being undervalued.
