I pulled a Tristar auto of his. Still have the thing somewhere around here. I was pretty excited because he was one of the few prospects I'd actually heard of.

Since I missed out on those Valiant Puig autos by a few weeks, I am hoping those take a giant dump and I can pick one up later for pennies on the $. As a Dodger, no matter how his career plays out, I want a signature, but I don't want to pay more than I would for most of the HOFers that played for them.

1995 Bowman's Best Vladimir Guerrero Refractor used to be a small fortune. Not so much anymore
ANY 1998-2000 UD SP Authentic Basketball RC used to be very expensive. Vince Carter was once a $3,200 card.
As someone else alluded to, nearly every card climbs to a level it will never ascertain long term. I think that is part of what being a hot card is about... all flames die out eventually... even the sun! Man, that's depressing!

I still have both of these cards.
To think that the day I pulled the LaPorta it was selling for $160 and I thought it hadn't peaked yet, how silly I was.
And yes, I checked, the LaPorta is still worth more.
What set is that MC Hammer out of?I have some Fowler rookies I way overpaid for.

Nomo-mania
Going back to 1995 (hard to believe almost 20 years ago now) Hideo Nomo was the biggest thing ever and the biggest of the big was his 1995 Finest Refractor RC. It is a true RC unlike most cards from 90's Finest. I think Topps produced the "update" to Finest that year just to cash in on Nomo. This card sold for over $500+ for a long time with collector demand in the US and Japan. To this day, largely because of Japanese buyers it sells raw in the $80-$100 range.

Thanks JH! I need to update it, not sure how wide I can go or if I should add a 2nd row (don't want it to look obnoxious lol)
He trolls every thread like this and says Strasburg...

I believe you can do 5 vertical cards and 3 horizontal cards in those holders and they'll match up size-wise

Yah, Griffey's another example.
I just checked eBay completed sold auctions, and dozens of raw '89 UD Griffey rookies have sold for under $20 in the past month.
You can easily buy one for $17 now.
