Overvalued players, series, sets?
Are there any particular cards, players, years, or series within a year that you believe are overvalued?

Not vintage, but I'd say really high end Mike Trout cards are obscenely overvalued and will be terrible investments if that's your goal. Trout could have another great decade and will still have very limited long term value. Amazing player, seemingly a wonderful real down to earth guy, with no almost no star value.

1952 Topps #311 - priced way, way outside of a lot of wallets including mine.
- not even a true Rookie Card

I'll say it....
most "rookie" cards. Could you imagine what you could obtain if you sold a NRMT 52T Mantle? Heck, you could get most of the T206 set and lots of other stuff (ok, maybe not NRMT, but....). As mentioned before, not even his "rookie" card.... If I had a NRMT 52T Mantle I'd sell it and buy another lesser grade 52T Mantle card and a T206 Wagner in not so bad/great shape. Edited to add - oh yeah, and a 51B Mantle "rookie".

I do not think that you are going to find a T206 Wagner to buy with the proceeds from a NM 1952 Topps Mantle.

How much is a NRMT PSA graded Mantle going for these days? Perhaps I could by the "restored" T206 Wagner being discussed in another thread.

Almost all Topps cards are overvalued or overrated in case that has different meanings to some.
Don’t get me wrong, I still like them, but they ain’t rare. How many Nolan Ryan RC are there? That’s my example of crazy hype prices. On the other side of the spectrum, is it possible that all original Babe Ruth cards are underrated? No bigger sports personality before, during or after his career...

Well, it could be argued real estate is overvalued for the most part. Or at least it's not really an "investment".

Agree with this one, I think it has to be at the top of the list, IMO.

Sherry Magee (Magie) spelling error cards. Who cares that some dude that no one has ever heard off outside of this board and SABR meetings had his name spelled wrong on a tobacco card 100 years ago.
Well who cares to the tune of 80K or 100K might be a better question. |
