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.

I was interested in this card this week until it went absolutely insane. The Bonds market appears very strong.

I think the 86 Topps Traded Bo Jackson will be a lasting card too. Not rare but as soon as future collectors find out who Bo Jackson was they’re going to look for it.

That photo is iconic, no doubt. I'm partial to the '86 Donruss Rookies use — getting this card signed at a local show is what reeled me back into the hobby::

Bonds is not surprising to me. As time goes on less and less people care about the PED usage, and the generation that watched him play as children grow older. 10 year old me, did not even know what steroids were. He did know that Bonds was built like Hercules and clobbered 500 foot moonshots.

And on paper, even with an asterisk attached to his name, He's still has 7 MVP's, a slew of gold gloves and 762 Home Runs. Unless if his records are stricken from the books (Which they won't be) his numbers will continue to live on in infamy.

A SGC 10 sold last night for $100k on Heritage. The PSAs are double that. I think 22 PSA 10s from what I remember

As a preface to this, I am not a Yankees fan.

I'm confident Jeter will remain iconic for generations to come.
  • 20 year career, entirely with the Yankees
  • 5 World Series Championships
  • The only Yankee with 3,000+ hits
  • Career .310 hitter
  • 14-time All-Star
  • 5 Gold Gloves
  • 5 Silver Sluggers
  • Rookie of the Year
  • World Series MVP
  • Etc., etc.

Even if he was a curmudgeon (he's not) to everyone, the hardware alone would cement his legacy. Yes, Jeter's an iconic figure. In my opinion, he always will be.

Oh, yeah...he's also got this going for him:

7 - Mantle
5 - DiMaggio
4 - Gehrig
3 - Ruth
2 - Jeter
