Ty Lawson: The next big thing to come out of the '09 class?

[kris24bryan]

I'm just curious what you all think about Lawson, both as an NBA PG and as major player in the card collecting hobby... Now that he's been given a shot to be the Nuggets point guard of the future and has had decent success, do you think he has what it takes to be a star, and if so will he be someone to hop on the collecting bandwagon now before his card prices skyrocket?

Being a diehard Nuggets fan since Dikembe rolled around on the ground making out with a basketball after beating the Sonics in the playoffs a long time ago, I'm a bit of a homer when it comes to Nuggets players, hence the reason I'd like to get your unbiased opinions. I recently bought this Lawson RC for $400 (the bv at the time was $150, and is now up to $200) not only cause it's one of the sickest patch cards I've seen, but because I think he's on the brink of collecting/NBA stardom.

What are your thoughts? Stud or am I off my rocker?

The Lawson patches out of that set were a box of suck, so among the patches available in that set for Lawson, you did well. That might be the nicest Lawson patch I have seen from that set. I think I may have seen one nicer upon release but most were yucky.

That being said, this card is a pretty big risk at that price even though it's numbered to /25. Is he going to beat out Ray Felton or will Denver have a timeshare at point? The timeshare seems to be working pretty well.

I would like it a lot more at $300 or even $325. Stephen Curry /99 and Brandon Jennings /99 are around $400 and are better buys in my opinion, and if you were to spend $150 more, you could get a Tyreke Evans /99. But you have a couple of things working in your favor: Collison and Beaubois patches are rapidly looking like they won't be produced, so people will be looking around for places to spend $$$, and 2010-2011 doesn't necessarily have the star power that would shrink the market for your card.

Definitely think he has alot of room to grow, Im also liking Marcus Thornton prices to grow alot with the way he's been scoring lately
