I will pay a million dollars for an 86 Fleer Stockton.

Sorry, I had Star cards on the brain:-)

That's a beauty!

I suppose we can give Fleer a break in '86, but to miss him two years in a row...

The Jeter SP is another Griffey like card even though it was a slightly more premium product for the time. There’s still a million of them.

Those were highly condition sensitive, so there aren't very many PSA 10s out there.

Has Jeter lost a bit of the iconic status he had a couple of years back? I don't know, I don't follow it closely, but I suspected that eventually he might drop a bit due to not being a home run hitter. On the other hand, despite a very long stretch of mediocrity by the metrics, Pujols with his 700 HR I think will endure. And we have seen what happened to Mike Trout, now seemingly destined to be a .230 hitter as he plays out his career. How do you now rank the post 1980 hobby icons? Griffey seems clearly at the top. After that?

I would say Pujols and Ichiro. Barry Bonds' paper seems to move well also.
