What modern cards are due to rise ?!

[Rookiemonster]

Hey , very new to this site . I also don't see much in the modern section I collect both vintage and modern . So in your opinions what has to go up ? I guess I'll go first . Football or baseball

1989 fleer glossy Griffey in mint or better .

1989 bowman Tiffany Griffey .

1984 topps football .

Rare 90s inserts

[1952boyntoncollector]

nothing really...things are collectible when everyone used to have it but now they no longer...

I think Atari and early Nintendo cartridges would be the thing to have from the 80s..modern era...not 1984 topps or whatever..

Check out the increase in value of the '85 Topps McGwire in PSA 10 over the last 10 months or so--from the $500 range to well over $600, new asking prices above $700, and PWCC selling one for $999!. It wasn't very many years ago that this card in this grade was at $300 or less. The most iconic baseball figure over the last 20+ years is regaining his luster--younger collectors don't really care about the PED's issue (and baseball has obviously made a dedicated effort to downplay the issue, including the steroid guys in the lists of lifetime leaders), but they do cherish his Bunyonesque qualities. This was a $5,000 card in 1998, and it might get there again.

I also think HOF'ers from the '91 Desert Shield set in high grade will do just fine.

PS: Bonds is going up also--his gem mint 1986 Topps Traded Tiffany rookie in gem mint 10 was once $2,000, went down to $200, and recent sales have been back up to about $700.

Happy collecting,

Larry

Since your suggestions are junk era I would think most of the Tiffany type SP sets. Not much else because there was just so much of it printed. Still by far my most favorite era of cards because I watched most of those guys play in person and they bring back great memories like Williams, Mantle, Mays and Aaron does for the older generation.

I never trusted those Tiffany production numbers. Back in the day when McGwire was hot it seemed there was an endless number of them.

I agree with most mentioned, especially the 91 desert shield. Also 93 finest refractors and 96 select certified. I think cards of the steroid guys will come back. Mcgwire is already on his way but I think Clemens and Bonds are good ones to buy now. 84 Fleer update Puckett and 89 Upper Deck Griffey in PSA 10 have room to go up in my opinion. I think that griffey in BGS 10 will be a 4-5k card in a few years and his PSA 10 will be selling for $500 before that.

On the Tiffany sets I have in my collection, the set's serial number is stamped on each box's bottom....in each case the set number is below the "stated" production number. I would have to believe that if a collector had a set with a stamped number higher than the stated/estimated production that this fact would have been revealed by now, but I have not heard of such a claim.

If more sets were produced than the estimated production amounts, than another theory could be that Topps produced multiple sets with the same serial number....but again I have not seen any collectors or dealers bring this fact forward either.

While it may have seemed like there were an endless number of McGwire RCs out there, there are only 1258 that are on record with PSA which is just over 25% of the alleged production amounts. This pct is probably a realistic number for such a card.

Surprisingly, these Tiffany cards do not have greater demand as their supply is exceedingly low as compared to their regular issue counterparts. Recent auction sales of sealed 85 TT sets were in the $700-900 range.

I have a run of these (84-91 ?) and the related Traded sets. I have never seen the cards themselves since they are still in the factory boxes. I also ended up buying some Tiffany "like"sets ( forget what they were called) from, I think 2000-2002

Fritsch used to offer some of the Tiffany sets in their catalog and web site

I agree that Nintendo games will increase in value . But I never owned and probably never will own a 1952 topps mantle and it continues to increase in value . As does many other things . Anyway I have also noticed the PeD e players increase a bit .

PSA 10s in general seem to be the consensus...there are people on net54 who thinks the flip grades in the years to come wont matter much which would impact on those suggestions of cards that could amount to something...

Count me as one of those people on junk era 10's. There is just so much unopened product and so many collections with ungraded cards that I personally think 10's from that era will be very common and easy to get in the future. Not 100% sure UD isn't still printing Griffey rookies.
