Post # 9000- The Best Heyward Card to Own Is?

Jaypers · Mar 10, 2010

For my 9000th post, I wanted to ask you all.

eBay sales aside, which card of his would you most want to own or invest in?

All The Hype · Mar 10, 2010

2008 BC Auto without question, from both a collecting and investing standpoint.

I was just going with 'base' and insert cards, not parallels.

Although I am a chromie at heart, give me the first year sterling auto!

Why is it shocking that more people would want an official MLB card with him in his Braves jersey produced in the same year.

I've been a fan of the Chrome auto since the beginning and that hasn't changed.

I just think the sterling card is ugly and also the fact that Heyward signed his full clean sig on the aflacs and not the shortened bunched sig he now has

What's interesting to me is that a bunch of us were convinced that these 2nd year BC Autos wouldn't hold a candle to previous issues, but it's clear to me that the acceptance of these 2nd year BC Autos is significant enough not to shy away from them. It seems now that "Rookie Card" definitions are even further muddied to the point where they're all but forgotten.

I would take the '07 Sterling auto over the '08 Chrome auto all day long. Sure, the '08 auto is outselling it now, but in the long run first year cards trump second year cards IMO. What is a second year card other than a second year card. I don't think in the long-term, people will be wanting second year autos more than "rookie" stuff. I would rather have a 2001 Pujols auto over a 2002 even if the 2002 was worth more.

+1

I unloaded all my Chrome autos of his as soon as possible. I'm holding a Sterling for my PC and I'm still undecided on my elite auto.

Agree with that 100% on investment potential

Exactly, I've found as an investor that more people want the 2nd year chrome autos than elite or sterling 1st year autos, and the best part is that they are often cheaper to buy than the 1st year stuff...but they ultimately the chrome autos outsell them when the player gets hot.

The sterlings are still outselling the second year chromes when we're talking about base. the sterlings are around 100 and the chromes in the 80's. Neither is really killing the other and I'm pretty sure the entry price on the sterling was lower.
