If Judge surpasses Maris, do you think Maris cards would decline?

I highly doubt it. The circumstances and his journey to 61 were pretty impressive and historic. Judges cards will (and are) increasing, but I don't think it will have an effect on Maris cards.

Judge’s pursuit may even boost Maris’ cards in short-term. All this exposure is putting Maris back in the headlines.

I agree I think they would go up

If anything it might draw more people to his card as people realize the story , the effort, and the longevity of the American League record

How did a player of this talent languish in the minor leagues until age 25?

This thread needed a card so don’t bash me to much for the modern card.. and yes it’s one of his 500 or so rc’s. That’s why I Rajah in my corner!!

Unfortunately I really don’t see maris prices increasing significantly, maybe for a month or two at most. Roger will continue to gradually go up with all the other vintage.

This is my favorite Judge card out there. Not a rookie card, but great looking and a difficult to find short print.

The current incarnation of Stadium Club has so many great photos every year, of current and past players.

Works for me:

Agreed. I don't get into much modern, but that 2018 short print run has piqued my interest. Some really striking images:

I usually only buy the old-timers if I don't get them in a single box every year, but I need to pick up that Scherzer. Some of the best baseball card photos are in this line now.

Not to get too far off track....

The beauty of these kind of records chases it brings the current record holder to the front of peoples minds so it brings the past back to life and helps many to learn and respect past players that maybe they did not know or knew but have not thought about in a long time.
