most expensive rookies

[HoustonTeams4Me]

How about non-auto'd non-refractor rookies? A-Rod sp and the Jeter SP probably take the cake.

ungraded the SPs aren't that much...i think arod sports flics proof

...I have seen the A-rod getting 480

$35

Lot cheaper than they are at the shops!

What shops are you speaking of? Please LMK as I think you also live in Texas (as I do), I'd like to find these shop's, drive by them, & sell them all the Arod's (that I buy from Ebay for a quarter of thier SV) at half of thier $480 sell price.....basically making a living off of it!

No...I meant to type $80 but when I hit shift it did not register or my finger left the button too quickly and it came out as 4 instead of a dollar sign.

Last time I was out at Howard Lau's they had one at $80.I wouldn't pay it as I haggle them down on everything but I also am not in the market for one.They usually come down on everything if you spend a few bucks but I guess they figure it doesn't hurt to try.I like Howard.Nice guy.We get into some seriously interesting debates.And he likes making fun of me because of my accent.Always with the Redneck jokes....

 

[hofautos]

big differernce between $80 and $480...$80 is believable
Anyway, you agree $80 wouldn't be included in the most expensive rookies?

Anyway, let's get this back on track.
Are there any other rookies that are $200 and above where premium for grade, "color" or #/D to 25 or less are not considered.

if pujols gets love from 01 spx, ichiro should too! raw gets about 650ish+ with a total supposed print run (non serial #ed though) to 500 copies

it is a "cheaper" alternate for those who couldn't get the ultimate collection

I have a question regarding a Pujols card.

I went to the National back in 2001, and the redemption was a 5 card set featuring Pujols and Sabathia as promo cards for the upcoming Heritage Set. I haven't seen the Pujols ever listed on Ebay and wondering if you guys have ever seen it listed, or if any of you guys have it?

They are listed every now and again. The last couple have gone around 50 dollars. If it's still in the wrapper, it goes for about 100. If you are interested in moving yours, LMK.

 

[IndyManning18]

besides colored refractors and superfractors, and the KNOWN 2001 PUJOLS CHROME AUTO, name the most expensive rookies post 1990:

I think the next most expensive is the 2001 Ichiro Ultimate which sells for around $2K what are the others?

The actual RCs have been bolded on this list. Variants such as Refractors(unless actual RC is refractorish) and Buybacks aren't considered RC's in my opinion, they are inserts. To me, when a RC is bought back and auto'd it becomes an insert, also my opinion.

 

[hofautos]

...To me, when a RC .../quote]

Everyone has there own idea of what a rc is. To me, rookie cards are first year mlb cards, and even then there are exceptions. Search ebay for RC and you will see inserts and parallels listed as RC's. I think everyone knows all of the issues with RC's, and that most people have their own definition of what a RC is. I also think most people consider parallels and inserts as RC's. For the sake of this thread, just consider FIRST YEAR MLB cards, and mainly looking for key cards.
