Yeah, the last few of these have sold north of $200k. A lot of people in the hobby seem to think they are the next $1 million card. I'm glad I held on to mine.
I have added a few things to my collection over the past few weeks that you might think are neat:
This guy's stuff is going absolutely BONKERS right now!!!
He's a GOAT, but he's also a horse, and thanks to this card, I can CLONE him! - Secretariat hair strand card.
I posted the Muhammad Ali auto that I picked up a few months back and I've been looking for one of these for a while. - 1992 Pro Line Autographs Cassius Clay variation (very rare)
I also finally got my Hogan stuff hung up in the man cave. [Reply]

Yeah I gave up on buying witt stuff. Outrageous prices for someone who hasn't played yet. [Reply]
Second, is there any way to know if these are authentic? Just bid on a few at their minimums and ended up getting this handful.
These are all authentic pack-pulled autographs. I would tell a beginner who is wanting to make sure not to buy anything fake to make sure there is an "authentication" message on the back of the card which signifies that the card was pulled from a pack autographed. Sticker autographs are most assuredly always authentic as well, but most purists and uber collectors prefer on-card autographs since it means the player actually held the card in his hand as opposed to signing a sheet of stickers. It's a matter of preference really. [Reply]

I was watching a break last night and learned UD still owns the rights to Jordan and Lebron card autos. Seems crazy considering they can't even make basketball cards anymore.
I've also learned I can't find a product I like that isn't well over priced or a break that doesn't absolutely rape me for being a Chiefs fan. Might have to settle for tracking down some Royals cards now that their WS win has worn off.
Royals from the 2015 world series can be had extremely cheap, although we do have one of the hotter prospects in baseball right now. Bobby Witt Jr. Bowman Chrome stuff has hit the market and he is the second highest value behind the Yankees international guy Jasson Dominguez. For that matter, minus Mahomes, Kelce, and Tyreek; Chiefs players from this past year can be purchased quite reasonably. I bought a Damian Williams PSA 10 auto rookie numbered out of 10 copies for $60 a couple months back. That is a steal IMO for a pretty unsung hero. Unfortunately his hobby love is going to be glossed over heavily this year by Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

It's the best investment I've ever made. I purchased it for $900 the year it came out.

Impressive.
No triple autographs have sold in quite a while, but there is one just like this (same grade and all) on ebay for $59,999 buy it now or best offer. Cards with just Kobe and Jordan or just Lebron and Jordan have sold in the past few months for $35,000+ each. [Reply]

I wouldn't mind finding a couple cards to pay a little tribute to the HDH trio. Have some memorabilia type stuff, but no cards on them.
I've been casually watching for a Witt Jr. in Bowman Sapphire, but nearly every one of them that stays reasonably priced is terribly off centered. [Reply]
The all time highest selling sports card is no longer a t206 Honus Wagner....it’s not a babe Ruth or even a mickey mantle.....it’s a Mike Trout, for $3.8 million.
Picked up a pack of 2020 Score at Casey's on a whim while getting breakfast the other morning, nabbed not one but TWO Joe Burrow rookies... whats even better one is his Ohio State card, the other LSU
But I simply do NOT understand whats going on with card values anymore, I'm seeing ungraded prices on both anywhere from $30 to $130... can anyone make sense of this nonsense for me?
So then I got curious about my Absolute Rookie Roundup Mahomes card, ungraded asking price at $150... some of the graded ones are pulling $850, and I only paid $20 for this bad boy :-)
