nolan ryan card question
What do you think of the 1968 and 1969 Nolan Ryan Topps cards future value.
His rookie card is holding value and the 1969 seems to be gaining in popularity. |

In many cases, when the rookie card has priced someone out, the next best card is their next year. Many times a players second year card looks better than their rookie.
I'm sure many on the board could provide excellent examples by posting some cards of Rose 63 / 64, Morgan 65 / 66, Seaver and Carew 67 / 68, Ryan and Bench 68 /69, and Munson 70 / 71, just to name a few. I love second year cards and some offer tremendous value compared to the rookie card.

The funny thing about the 1963 and 1964 Rose cards is that they used the same picture...

All of the 2nd year cards mentioned this far are the initial card of each player by himself and I think that makes those cards attractive...IMO of course.

10's and maybe 9's might go up, assuming there are still people out there who don't have them and want them.
Everything else, who knows? Everyone who wants one has one, and those who want another can afford to wait, since there are so many out there. If you want an investment, I recommend mutual funds. |

Which fund or funds are you recommending David . Some seem to do well, others not so much.

All time great players will do ok. I wish I'd purchased more Ruth cards than I did a decade ago. Ditto Gehrig Cobb Mathewson Mantle etc. because now I can't really afford them.
But if money is all you care about the hobby isn't the place for you. Collect what you like with fun money. Don't invest in cards.

That's why I have a financial advisor😁. I sell things for a living and he picks the right funds. He doesn't sell and I don't pick stocks. Been working well lately.

I love the 69 Ryan because he is posed throwing the ball when, upon closer inspection, the ball is still in his glove. LOLS

Higher grade Ryans should do reasonably, but not spectacularly well over time, as there is no real shortage of them. Their value may be cyclical for the same reason. Since that is my personal opinion, I wouldn't put 4 figures into a highly graded example, but am satisfied with the one I pulled out of a pack as a kid (Good to VG?).
May your collecting first and foremost bring you joy, Larry |
