rev interested ko kung may available na kobe o AI chrome na bgs o psa gem mint o pristine paki pm nalang sakin price kung dito sa pinas hirap kasi pag sa ebay bumili baka damaged ipadalang card, graded RC nalang kasi gusto ko collect ngayon, by the way sa robinsons galleria pa ba nag trade lage mga hobbiest o virra mall na ulit pag weekends?, grabe na pala laki ng binababa ng sports cards ngayon naabutan ko pa dati na $3000 at $1000 yung graded gem mint na bgs o psa chrome rc ni kobe at AI kaya di ko mabili eh, hindi din pala maganda investment collection lang talaga

 

Yup pare, sa Galleria (Courtside) ang lugar ng mga hobbyists (and sellers) every Saturday.. Wala na sa Virra Mall ang trade days.. Kung babalik ka sa hobby, baka magulat ka sa high prices ng boxes and packs.. Gone are the days of P80 packs.. At dahil bagsak na ang Skybox/Fleer at binili na ito ng Upper Deck (which happened last year).. hindi na ganung kadami ang products.. Topps and UD na lang sa Basketball pare at minsan binabalik ng UD ang Fleer/Skybox but very rare.. Syempre andun pa din yung College themed cards like Press Pass and Sage..

 

Iba na ang hobby ngayon dito sa Pinas ngayon.. A lot of people have stopped opening packs and just rely on sellers to sell them what they want.. Ngayon (if you back read sa collector's item thread) makikita mo dun yung mga posts ko na there is one guy who opens Php50.0M worth of cards per NBA season.. baka nga more than eh.. and sells those he feels are mediocre.. and I am telling you he only gets the high end Lebron James, Michael Jordan na 1 of 1.. or really rare/unpriced cards.. At mura lang niya binebenta ang mga considered "trash cards" niya.. Karamihan din sa cards ng mamang ito goes to e-bay.. where I also bid..

 

I bid on e-bay kaso sa mga tiga-Philippines lang (not e-bay.ph) para pick-up.. dahil ayoko ng international mail.. minsan nawawala at magulo ka-transaksyon minsan mga foreigners..

 

----

 

Going back to the topic.. the AI and Kobe Topps Chrome have really gone down considerably esp after Kobe was accused of rape.. It suddenly went up a little bit when he scored 81 points.. I do think stable na ang price ni Kobe at AI.. One more reason for the Topps Chrome brand to go down is the release of the Upper Deck Exquisite.. Kasi this is considered the holy grail of Rookie Cards.. Kasi one pack would set you $700.00.. but you are guaranteed one game used card, autographed, and one RC auto patch.. But still sugal eh kung makuha mo butaw, di ba? At sobrang rare ng cards dahil ang Top 5 RCs are numbered to just 99..

 

The price of a Lebron James RC from UD Exquisite (#d to 99) is at $10,000.00 pare.. And nagtatapos ito sa e-bay from 8500-9000 dollars.. So almost full book.. Much like Kobe's Pristine Graded RCs which went up to $3K before, LBJ's UD Exquisite RC can go down if ever he does not win any championships or gets injured before he ends his career.. Meaning ang cards ay talagang sugal.. And I am telling you if Kobe wins a championship without Shaq.. his cards can really soar..

 

Ang style kasi sa cards kung investment ang POV mo ay, buy cheap.. wait for the player to go boom and sell.. Kasi once a player reaches a plateau his cards would also go down a bit.. Look at Grant Hill's and Penny's cards.. Bagsakan yan except for the autographs.. but their RCs and inserts.. Bagsak!!! Why? Because of injury.. Tim Duncan won three championships but he was considered a boring player.. So his cards went up a bit but stabilized.. His autographs naman are very rare kaya full book sila usually..bihira yung mga tipong player na kamukha ni Jordan na full book ang presyo kahit sa mga inserts lang.. LBJ and Kobe have all the makings of the next hobby superstar next to Jordan but it all depends on their play, off-court antics and even injuries.. Sugal talaga pare..

 

IMHO, I do think that investment wise.. Maganda ang kumuha ng Kobe Topps Chrome kahit hindi pa graded.. The kid has tons of potential and is just nearing his prime.. For me, ngayong bumaba ang Topps Chrome RC ni Kobe, its high time to buy.. The Lakers-franchise is centered on Kobe (plus the Lakers is a hobby hot bed).. and I do think Kobe has the capability to explode and win some rings.. Kay AI? I think medyo mag-de-deteriorate na play ni Iverson.. Coz he is getting old.. I think stabilized na presyo ng mga RCs at autographs ni AI.. Si Kobe.. Volatile pare.. at hindi pababa kundi pataas..

 

But I do not make investments.. I am first and foremost a collector.. I just sell some stuff na na-doble ko or yung mga faded na autographs ko..

 

Nga pala.. Ingat ka sa Courtside.. Mas madaming "smackers" dun than collectors.. Ibig sabihin maraming manloloko dun.. I sold one TMac card there na faded na yung autograph.. Syempre I sold it cheap.. $100 for P700.00 dahil nga faded.. ngayon pag-balik ko last Saturday it was sold sa e-bay at $41.. dahil binura yung pirma na faded at finorge yung pirma.. hehehe!! That is how people are nowadays.. Will fool people just to make a few bucks.. :grr:

^^ kupalking, look at my post above rearding the Raymond Felton Exquisite RC.. Ganyan ang itsura ng mga Exquisite RC may patch at autograph.. Syanga pala.. yung nagbubukas ng Php50.0M worth of cards.. nagbubukas yan ng almost Php30.0M worth of Exquisites per year.. $700 per pack? Php30.0M? that should be a lot of cases.. Kaya naman ang dami niya talagang magagandang cards..

 

I hope you go back to collecting, dre.. coz its nice to go back nowadays.. the card companies provide autographs left and right plus tons of game used memorabilia.. :cool:

College cards (like Press Pass, Sage, etc.) do have value in Beckett.. If you want to see their values try buying the Beckett Quarterly and the Beckett Annual.. But college cards are not considered rookie cards.. they are just college cards.. and have lesser values than NBA themed cards.. But some autographs also sell high in e-bay like the Score Board Autograph of Kobe and the Tim Duncan Press Pass autograph, and others pa..

 

One card that I have always wanted is a college card.. This is the Tim Duncan/David Robinson autographed card from Press Pass - Double Threat.. Back to back sila nakapirma dito.. Haay! Up to now, wala pa akong nakitang ganitong card kahit sa e-bay pa.. :P

$300 bili mo dun sa Hill.. Nakupo.. Pare nasa $60 na lang yung Gem Mint pare.. Sana kung refractor nasa $400 pa eh.. Gem Mint ni Vinsanity na SP Authentic RC ay nasa $400 na lang.. Wala na pare.. Pinatay si Vince nung lumipat siya sa Nets at naging malamya ang mga cards niya nung naging pangit ang attitude niya (naging cry baby kasi eh)..

 

Almost every Saturday andun ako sa Galleria pare.. This coming Saturday wala ako.. Wala pa akong nahanap na merong Chrome RC nina Kobe and AI.. Magta-tanong pa sana ako kapag nakapunta dun next Saturday eh.. I texted one of my friends kaso di pa rin nag-reply eh.. If you would look for me.. Revi is my real name.. People know me there as REVI or yung nag-Du-Duncan.. I will PM you the cell number if ever na may mahanap akong may Kobe or AI.. Dontcha worry..

 

With regards to the person who spends millions on cards.. Pare mayaman ito talaga.. I think he lives in Wack Wack and he drives a Sports Car - Benz pa nga daw.. I know him quite well but I never thought he is that rich before.. He sells his cards on several shops in Greenhills (Virra Mall), Ashcreek (near Xavier) and at SM Megamall.. He owns or is a part-owner of these shops.. where he would display his new items and we would literally flock them to get the first batch of his "trash cards".. pare ang gaganda ng trash nito.. I recently got a Tim Duncan Upper Deck Reflections Mirror Images Jersey which is numbered to 21 of 100. Pare, 1-0f-1 ano? #21 ang jersey number ni TD.. Taena naduling yata kaya natsambahan ko.. Karamihan dun basta mauna ako nakatabi na ang mga Tim Duncan.. atsaka kung mala-late meron na akong naatasang tiga-kuha..

I never stopped getting Rookie cards ever since.. Ang pinakapangit kong years ay yung kay Kenyon Martin, Tony Parker, at Ben Gordon.. Never liked kasi yung batch nila but I guess I should have invested heavily on some Dwight Howards, Luol Dengs and Ben Gordons.. Pag-sinabi kong pangit ang ibig sabihin nito kakaunti ang mga RCs ko na high-end..

 

AI autograph? I have one pare.. Nasa $120.. Got it for Php5,500.00.. But is not for sale.. I also collect autographs kasi pare.. the 50 Greatest players & the considered legends of the game na hindi included sa 50 Greatest like Dominique Wilkins.. Isa lang pwede na sa akin.. Halos lahat ng players na impact players meron ako autograph.. Kaso siyempre mahirap din makumpleto.. I still haven't bought any Lebron James autograph but I have already Jordan's.. Graded pa nga eh.. 9.0 yung card at Pristine 10 yung mismong autograph.. Got it for Php25K..

 

Try kita ihanap din ng AI auto.. Medyo madali lang makuha ito 3-4 months ago.. Kasi dahil dun sa brand na Topps Luxury Box but now mukhang binili na ng mga collectors.. :P

In all actuality, mababa na talaga ang value ng jersey cards.. Why? Pare, nagkalat ang jersey cards.. dahil sa isang box may 1-3 guaranteed na jersey cards.. Kaya minsan parang inserts na lang turing sa jersey cards.. Kaya kung pangit ang player na nakuha mo, hindi mo ito mabebenta at a premium.. Some players like Shawn Marion, Dirk, Stephon mababa lang ang value pagdating sa jersey cards..

 

Ang hot ngayon ay autographed cards and patch cards (yung multi-color swatches coming from logos, names, etc.).. Mas madami kulay mas maganda at mas valuable..

 

Luxury box yung autographed card ko ni AI.. Sa Topps lang pumipirma si Iverson, exclusively.. Isa siya sa mga kakaunti ang napirmahan (as of now).. Kasi nga sa Topps lang siya pumipirma.. Tim Duncan is another player who is kinda rare when it comes to autographs.. Exclusive Topps din siya eh.. I have seven TD autos already.. I am planning to get 21 autographs for my personal collection..

 

-------

 

Now on to your question regarding the new batch of rookies.. Well, IMO, Adam Morrison is the one that is being watched by most collectors.. Morrison was regarded as the next Larry Bird.. But unlike Keith Van Horn (named the 2nd Bird as well) can really shoot it deep and can drive strong to the basket..

 

Randy Foye's autographs are also soaring in e-bay because fans expect the TWolves to have a good showing with him, and KG there.. With Rashad McCants out for the season, Foye is expected to have lots of playing time..

 

Also, expect some rookies from the Bulls to show good.. Tyrus Thomas might be a good back-up to Ben Wallace.. Their Swedish born pick up Thabo Sefolosha is very hyped up.. But I doubt if he would be given enough playing time behind Ben Gordon or even Luol Deng..

 

Also, JJ Reddick.. Why? Orlando needs a shooter.. They have an inside presence in D.Howard.. a good PG in Jameer Nelson.. JJ Reddick might just be the solution to win.. Alam mo galing sa Duke si Reddick.. Ibig sabihin high profile siya na player.. and just might be for the hobby as well..

 

Sleeper rookie.. try Quincy Douby of the Kings.. Bwakaw itong player na ito.. and you know how people like "high-scoring" rookies.. Imagine him and Bibby playing side by side.. Guard din yata si Douby eh..

 

All in all, these are the rookies I expect to create an impact.. in the NBA and in the hobby.. but honestly, this year's batch looks like would just be somewhat like Tim Duncan's rookie season.. where only him and Tracy McGrady created much buzz in the long run.. If you would ask who to collect (as of now) it would be Morrison.. The Bobcats became high profile when Michael Jordan went in.. with a healthy Okafor, Felton and Sean May, Morrison might just light it up..

 

Last year's batch was not all bad.. If you don't like Chris Paul (as you say).. Well, I feel na Isaiah Thomas type si Paul na hindi masyadong malakas ang impact hobbywise.. Although his cards are soaring as of the moment.. Wait for 1-2 years.. They will all subside.. Remember Damon Stoudamire? :) Ang magandang kunin in last year's batch are Danny Granger and Raymond Felton.. Mababa pa ang mga cards nila and might be good in the long run --- investment wise.. Esp. Granger.. might be the missing link with all the problems Jermaine is having because of injuries.. My bet is Granger would be Indiana's go to guy in the long run..

 

Here is my Allen Iverson autograph:

Hanap kita ng Iverson auto dre..

 

Hindi pa nga ako masyado bumibili ng mga autographed cards ng mga rookie cards ngayon eh.. I only have the ff autos: Shelden Williams, Patrick O Byrant, Steve Novak, & Quincy Douby.. Kaso sa rookie cards.. meron na ako ng ilan but all are still wearing their college unis.. Reflections and UD Rookie Debut ang mga RCs ko ng bagong batch..

 

It is very scary to get expensive items from the new players.. coz we should see them play first.. I would collect them but I would not get the expensive ones yet.. Mahirap na.. baka masunog tayo.. hehe!

 

Pare, yung Ultimate Collection ngayon nasa Php35K per box yun.. around 6K per pack.. Kaso ang exquisite, grabe Php45K per pack (hindi box).. At sobrang limited nila.. Its even hard to open tons of cases in a given state sa Amerika eh.. Kaya mahirap dahil limited sila.. If you would look at the product, ang pinaka-mataas na number ng card dun ay 225.. Kaya ito ngayon ang HOT.. Kaya nga grabe yung nagbubukas dito ng milyon-milyon eh.. Saan kaya niya nakukuha yung ganun ka-daming cases.. A close friend of his said he has opened 100 cases of 05-06 exquisite eh..

 

Yao Ming? Pare, even though he has not really lived up to his hype, he is still considered the first real NBA superstar from Asia.. Kaya ang rookie cards niya ay mahal pa din.. Ultimate Collection, $450.. SPX, $200.. SP Authentic, $100 (ewan ko ba kung bakit bumagsak presyo ng SP Authentic --- considering Autographed din ang mga ito like Ultimate and SPX).. Here in the Philippines meron kasing big time na bumibili ng mga Yao Ming.. so yung mga high-end cards niya bihira na mag-surface sa secondary market.. His "not so hard" to find autos are still in the $40-60 range.. Jersey cards niya mababa and inserts.. medyo mababa pa nga kay Duncan eh.. Yao Ming signs a lot.. Kaya hindi rare ang autograph niya unlike that of Duncan..

 

Oo nga pala before I forget.. Isa sa mga hot items ngayon ay yung mga autographs ng legends (50 Greatest), like Wilt, Bird, Magic, Kareem.. Kasi medyo madami ang nag-co-complete nito (which includes myself).. Old players are really hot especially those who have not signed yet.. Case in point, a Bill Bradley auto from Topps '52 Style is at $400.. the Bob McAdoo autograph from Fleer Greats of the Game ay nasa $60.. Kaso yung 50 Greatest talaga ang grabe ang bentahan.. A Charles Barkley is so rare na nasa Php20k bentahan dito if it surfaces here..

 

I still need 12 autos from the 50 Greats namely, Kareem, Bird, Barkley, Dave Bing, Debusscherre, Sam Jones, Pistol Pete (not available in cards, but in personal checks he signed - can be seen in e-bay), Kevin McHale (haven't seen any card autos of him yet), Mikan, Oscar Robertson, Bill Russel and James Worthy.. Yung mga naka-highlight ang mahirap makuha.. Except for Pete Maravich lahat ng mga ito gusto ko in card form ang autographs.. ayoko ng jerseys, balls, etc.. Baka meron ka ng mga ito.. :P

check ko ulit collection ko baka may naligaw na auto ng 50 greatest, ang naalala ko lang kasi may auto ko ni dirk eh yung bgs graded pa dati, pang hardcore lang yang exquisite 45k isang pack tapos di pa sure kung maganda lahat what a waste of hard earned money, bumaba nadin pala cards ni yao ming di tulad nung unang labas cards niya mamahal, bihira nadin ba nagbebenta ng mga graded RC's na gem mint at pristine sa galle? may nag alok din sakin dati ng mini ball auto ni AI scoreboard certificate kaso di ko kinuha faded na pirma

Yup, bumaba na din.. Nung unang labas eh nasa Php20K bentahan ng SPX niyan eh.. Mayroon din pa minsan-minsan akong nakikita sa Galleria na graded RCs.. kaso pasulpot-sulpot na lang.. Well, according to my friend, it would be difficult to find pristine rookie Chromes of Kobe and AI.. But if my memory serves me right, sigurado ako na meron akong nakitang ganyan dati.. Dami din kasi nag-Ko-Kobe dun eh.. kaya siguro yung nakita ko nasa Personal Collection na..

 

Yung auto mo ni Dirk sa Fleer Authority yan ano? Yung pahiga yung card hindi patayo.. Kung ito yun its at $60.. Dirk only signed three products.. 2 for Fleer/Skybox and one for Upper Deck.. Yung sa Upper Deck ang mura kaso full book ang bentahan dito kasi patayo.. $40 naman itong sa UD..

Link to comment
oo yun nga dirk ko auto, mga cards din ba ni garnett bumaba na kasi dati nung ng mvp tumaas finest RC niya eh, ikaw ba wala ka gem mint RCs sa personal collection mo, puro auto at duncan lang ba?

 

I don't collect graded RCs pare.. Kasi I am heavily into rookie cards talaga.. Kumbaga per year meron akong "something to look forward to" because of the rookies.. Yun nga lang hindi ko masyadong gusto ang graded cards kasi its bulky and its usually really very expensive tapos kapag bumaba sobran bulusok din.. At least ang ungraded RCs hindi niya kasing taas kaya kapag bumaba hindi masyado masakit..

 

My collection is really rookie cards (usually 3 pocket or 9 pocket per player), Duncan, and Autographs.. Minsan, anything that gets my attention.. some Jordan stuff na okay presyo.. I already have one of the floor cards, 2 jersey cards, 1 suit and a graded autographed card.. I also collect some Spurs stuff.. Rookie cards, autographs, jersey/pactches of Ginobili, Parker, Horry, Bowen, Sean Elliot, Avery Johnson --- basta nakakampi ni Duncan.. Kaso ang mga ito hindi ko priority kaya mas kinukuha ko ang RCs, autos and Duncan stuff..

 

Sa Rookie cards, I need Avery Johnson's, any Gilbert Arenas, and any Gerald Wallace, of course the rare Ewing, Jordan, etc. sa 86 & 87 Fleer, but those would cost an arm and a leg so hwag muna.. Sa autographs na hindi legends, priority ko ang mga ito: a Sean Elliot, Kevin Johnson, Abdul Rauf (Chris Jackson), Dirk Nowitzki, Robert Horry (not yet signed any card).. Yung kay Dirk kasi nag-oover book eh.. Kaya hindi ko pa makuha.. para kasi ang feeling ko bababa pa ito if his play stagnates.. Yung iba sa list ko naging rare na over the years..

 

FYI.. Nga pala I saw someone selling a Carmelo SPX RC for Php15K yata.. Gem Mint.. 9.5..

 

KG? Hindi naman masyadong tumaas talaga ang cards ni Garnett even though he was named MVP before.. His Finest RC stabilized at $70.. Meron din ako nito eh.. Was able to buy it for just around Php300-500.. Kasi in bulk ko ito nakuha which included several jerseys and the BMOC (Big Men On Court insert) of Tim Duncan, that I desperately need.. :D

PSA o BGS yung carmelo na RC? ako siguro graded RCs at kobe and AI ang collect ko ulit if ever bumalik ko sa hobby na ito, pag big man talaga sa NBA hindi gaanong nag tataas presyo kahit na si shaq pa baba nung key rc niya eh yung upper deck sp dapat sila nila duncan mas mataas pa value kaysa kina lebron dahil ilang beses ng nag MVP at nanalo sa finals, si garnett ok sana kung lumipat nalang ng ibang team walang mangyayari sa kanya sa minnesota pati si AI sana lumipat nadin sana sa isang contender para makatikim naman championship

Yung Melo.. BGS yun pare..

 

Yung tungkol sa big men.. Totoo yun pare.. Ang talagang tumataas sa hobby na ito ay mga gwardiya.. Kahit naman Power Forwards hindi masyadong tumataas eh.. You know how people are.. Basketball fans are more into the high-flyers than the shooters, play makers and the post up big men.. Kumbaga mga tipo ni MJ, Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse, Kobe, TMac, Lebron, Melo, Wade, AI (coz Iverson is not really a PG, but more of an SG di ba?)..

 

But yknow.. I also think that if you come directly from high school and play like hell.. even though big man ka.. your cards can still soar like yung RCs ni Dwight Howard.. Yung kay Amare Stoudemire matataas din but unlike with DHoward, Amare is most of the time injured so his health is questionable and remains to be seen.. So his (Amare's) cards saw a tapering down in activity..

 

I dunno if KG's and AI's cards would go up if they would transfer teams.. They might win championships but hobby-wise.. hobbyists usually would want their player to end their careers where they started it.. or to win championships where they started.. But who really knows? IMO, I believe that both players should already transfer to other teams.. kasi they are not getting younger.. and with they way their respective teams deal in trades.. Yucky! - to say the least.. :D

Steve Nash's Chrome - $30.. Tumaas na ito.. considering dati nasa $12-$20 lang ito.. Ang mahal ay yung Skybox Autographics ni Steve Nash.. Nasa $250 ito dahil considered rare siya.. But I guess this would go down a bit coz Steve Nash is now signing.. dati kasi hindi ito pumipirma.. You want Nash's too?

 

DHoward vs. Amare? Pare, mas exciting talaga si Amare.. But people are holding on to Howard's cards more kasi may chance pa ito na bumulusok dahil daw young ang team ng Orlando.. And fans do believe that a trio of Jameer Nelson, Howard and the up and coming JJ Reddick would do wonders for the franchise..

 

Since lumabas ang Exquisite.. lahat ng RCs ay naging second fiddle.. Syempre Exquisite ang key RC.. Lumabas lang naman ang Exquisite nung time nina Lebron, Melo and Wade eh.. Kaso sobrang hirap nilang makuha coz all are numbered to just 99.. :blink: Ang susunod na key RCs ay yung sa Ultimate Collection then yung SPX..

 

Tsambahan naman talaga ang pagpili ng player to collect eh.. I did not started collecting Tim Duncan.. Before basta Rookie Cards lang atsaka anything I pull from packs.. Tapos, nagkataon na puros Tim Duncan ang napu-pull ko na inserts and rookie cards during his rookie season.. Somebody said na bakit hindi na lang ang ako mag-Duncan.. So, I started my small collection since.. Ang baba nga lang ng cards ni Duncan nun, sina Van Horn at Mercer ang mataas eh.. Kahit nga si TMac hindi masyado eh.. I never did expect TD to perform this well.. winning 3 championships and winning back to back MVPs.. Tumaas din ang cards niya kahit papaano but stabilized.. Kaso yung autographs niya.. almost close to full book natatapos sa e-bay.. Kahit yung mga patch cards niya.. especially the low numbered ones.. and also the hard to find inserts..

 

The Duncan ruby I posted on page 2 on this thread fetched $296.. $300 lang ito sa Beckett.. Over book yun kasi may shipping pa.. At least, may balik na pera ang Duncan collection ko if I decide on selling it (although malabo yun! :boo: )..

pero ang phoenix kasi contender na eh ang orlando parang nasa rebuilding process padin kaya mas may exposure si Amare basta maging healthy lang at nag average nadin siya 26 ppg di ba nung di pa na injure, hirap talaga gawing investment itong nba cards madalas maluge ka talaga, talagang pang hobby lang dapat, di din pala gaano tumaas ng husto si nash kala ko ka price na niya si AI,

^^ Yup.. Rebuilding process nga ang Magic at established na si Amare sa Phoenix.. Kaya nga ang rookie ards ni Amare (many say) have reached their peak.. The reason why investors are looking at Jameer and DHoward ay dahil sa potential.. Upside kumbaga.. They think that both players' cards still have room to go up..

 

Kasi investment in cards only happen if you buy low and sell big.. Dapat kasi marunong din tumingin ng players na sa tingin mo ay tataas at mababa pa ang presyo.. Or collect a player than have lots of room to really move upwards.. Yun nga lang mahirap mag-speculate.. At dapat mag-start ka bumili rookie year pa lang ng player.. Case in point, Dirk Nowitzki.. Before his 2nd season.. People speculated that Nowitzki would be a bust.. and Robert "Tractor" Traylor would be good.. But would have thought of this.. Dirk only really showed his mettle on his 2nd year.. Kumbaga tsambahan lang talaga..

 

You know an Adam Morrison autographed card #d to 30 went up to as much as $200 kanina sa e-bay.. Grabe!!! Not yet shown anything but his cards are really skyrocketing..

 

Was able to buy a Brandon Roy rookie debut autograph for just $11.00 in e-bay (Php661).. Here is the card.. Pwede na, malay natin baka ma-carry ni Roy ang Portland Trailblazers this season.. The next DWade.. Who knows? Sugalan na lang natin.. :blush:

ok yang si brandon roy magaling siya sa summer leagues mura pa auto niya na nabili mo, yun nga lang eh baka biglang bumagsak mga cards ni Amare pag na injured nanaman,pero si dirk di din siguro masyadong papataasin kasi foreigner eh, dapat din pala nag collect ko mga gilbert arenas nuon galing din niya taas umiscore at exciting din dati ang baba pa cards nung nasa golden state ngayon ba tumaas na

Yup.. si Gilbert Arenas was a surprise for most of us.. He was not even considered a superstar during his rookie season.. a 31st pick in the 2nd round.. He was known as a scorer during his days with Arizona but at that time high school phenoms were the deal.. like Eddy Curry, Dasagana Diop and the very well known, Kwame Brown.. Or high flyers like Jason Richardson and point men like Jamaal Tinsley (or even Tony Parker).. Mababa ang cards nito.. Ako nga naghahanap ng kahit na anong Arenas eh.. Kasi naman hindi ko man kilala ito when he came out so I did not bother to get his cards.. Ngayon ang hirap maghanap..

 

Tama ka dun sa concept mo tungkol sa foreign players like Dirk, Manu, etc.. Hobbywise, their cards would not really soar coz hindi naman talaga hobby capitals ang foreign lands eh.. But who really knows? Malay natin di ba? Pag-nagtagal tumaas din sila sa hobby ng sobra-sobra.. hehe!!! :D

 

Yung kay Brandon Roy.. A lot of people in the Beckett threads say that he can either be a bust or a deal.. But not really a superstar.. Because of his small frame.. But if the summer league would be the basis of success in the league, then Roy will be a hit.. Sana nga tumaas ang cards niya coz I was able to buy a cheap card of his.. I do assume nasa $40-60 ito kapag lumabas ang presyo nito sa Beckett..

 

Si Gerald Wallace nagpapakita sa Charlotte ah.. It looks like he might have a huge season if Adam Morrison does not become a bust.. and if Okafor and Sean May become healthy for the season.. Naghahanap din ako ng mga RC's ni Gerald Wallace kasi.. mababa pa ang mga rookie cards nito and he seems to be a decent player that have the tendency to go up in the hobby.. Just a speculation.. Although matagal na siya naglalaro but much like Ben Wallace, he has the potential to become a superstar one of these days.. What you think, pare?

wow...nice thread...been an nba cards addict then...

 

madami ako juwan howard na rookie card...hes one of my fave players...

 

meron din ako autographics ni bobby phils (r.i.p.)

 

my cousin once bought the topps finest set of rookie cards (batch ni iverson and kobe) for 1k+++

 

he then traded the kobe card for a jordan rockstars refractor card... (jordan collector)

 

guess how much that bryant card is now...

 

pero i think he still has the iverson and walker card...i think...
