compare his stats to MJ's

awesome isnt it?

i was offered $500(US) when i first got this. i wonder kano kaya to ngaun?

^^^ Can't open the link dude.. Authentic Autographed card ba ito ni Jordan? What exactly is this card?

 

Well, I have several cards of Michael Jordan.. Hindi lang inserts.. I have a 3 Memorabilia cards (shorts, suit, and a jersey card).. I have 1 authentic autographed card which has a piece of his Chicago Bulls Jersey and is graded 9-Mint, while the signature is graded 10-Pristine.. Beckett lists my autographed card at $500 and that is the ungraded version.. (This is actually the MJ card out of the 04-05 SP Game Used Legendary Fabrics Autographs Set - all are numbered to 100 only)..

[Fitzroy]

you should be able to see them. its a card of Jordan posing as another player while he is in his first retirement. He played as #4 Jhonny Kilroy for the Bulls and scored 79 points in one quarter.

 

the cards that you own, i stopped collecting before they came out. but i have rare air, out takes, and decade of Dominance cards of MJ. they are about 150+ pcs

^ Insert cards (e.g., foils, gold, die-cut) of Jordan do not really command top dollar nowadays.. Except for the rare numbered ones and the Hot Numbers insert from Flair.. But mas madaling makakuha ng autographed card niya nowadays dahil medyo madami (look at e-bay) at merong nagbubukas dito sa Pilipinas ng sobrang daming cards.. If you want a piece of his autograph magandang bumalik ngayon..

 

However his autograph do sell for top dollar kahit madami.. Ranging from 500USD to as high as 16KUSD or even more ang mga auto niya.. Usually ang multiplier dito sa atin for a Jordan is 40.. Be ready to shell out big bucks if you want his auto.. But I am telling you its worth it.. Your collection would not be as awesome without MJ's signature.. Jersey cards and Patch cards still command top prices but malayo compared to His Airness' autographed cards..

 

I do not have your card stated above.. and I honestly do not know its price.. Can't seem to find it sa Beckett.. (Baka sa Annual).. But it seems like its an odd-ball card na rare.. Nice addition for an MJ collector.. I guess it might command top dollar in e-bay..

 

I still do have some inserts of MJ as I have said.. Meron actually akong isang binder (9-pocket) na puros inserts ni Jordan.. (Electrifying, Premium Player, Ultra Gold Medallion, New Heights, UD Commemorative Collctn, to name a few) around 100++ din yata ang Jordans ko.. Now that I have one of his autographed card, I am now dreaming of owning a good condition Rookie card from Fleer (nasa 25K yan dito) or his XRC from Star.. Ooops I also forgot to mention that I have an MJ Final Floor card --- when he took that last shot in Utah --- the card features a piece of the parquet floor of the Delta Center when he took that shot vs. Russel.. Dati 800USD ito.. ngayon nasa 80USD na lang.. kasi dumagsa ito sa secondary market and its rarity suffered big time..

 

More of a Tim Duncan collector ako.. kaya hindi din ganun kadami Jordans ko.. Plus the fact that collecting Jordan would really put me in debt.. I also collect autographs and rookie cards.. ito ang bulk ng collection ko..

This is the "suit" card of Jordan that I have.. Got this card for Php1,300.00.. Its Beckett Value is at $60.00.. --- Usually sells at 1,800.00 here.. This was from the 2000-2001 Upper Deck series that was seeded 1 per case.. This is his cheapest memorabilia card (so far).. I bought the card coz its kinda rare considering that Upper Deck did not feature a swatch from MJ's suit anymore in any of their releases after 00-01..

 

Here's the front of the card..

both of you guys seem to know a lot. as for me, i stopped collecting when i was in 3rd year high (1995). so compared to you i look like a newbie.

meron ako nyan MJ viewpoints

I am an NBA Card Collector pare.. And one of my collections are rookie cards (or RCs in our lingo) of almost each current player in the league.. Coz I have been collecting RCs since Grant Hill's heyday.. And I backpedalled to get some older rookie cards like that of Zo, Shaq, Mutombo, Payton, Terell Brandon, Larry Johnson.. I started my RC collection since 1994.. so humility aside.. I have lots of RCs of impact players such as GHill, Kidd, Damon, Sheed, Stackhouse, Garnett, Nash, Kobe, Iverson, Duncan, Vince Carter, Dirk, Bibby, Kenyon Martin, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, Yao Ming, Manu Ginobili, Amare, Lebron, Boris Diaw, Carmelo, DWade, Ben Gordon, Dwight Howard, Luol Deng, Chris Paul, Danny Granger, Raymond Felton.. As of now my most expensive RC is that of Vince Carter.. I have his Platinum Medallion Ultra RC and is listed at USD250.00.. Followed by Kobe's Topps Chrome which is listed at $225.00.. With Lebron James, I have his Ultra Gold Medallion RC and and is listed at $85.. But sad to say ito na ang pinakamahal ko kay LBJ coz I was not able to buy his RCs kasi sobrang taas na when they came out..

 

.. and also the lesser known players such as Erick Dampier, Scott Pollard, Drew Gooden, Podkolzin, or even Fran Vazquez.. Halos lahat talaga dre since Grant Hill's rookie season meron ako.. Name it I may have it.. But meron din naman akong wala.. The RCs that I need of current players are Dorrel Wright, Gilbert Arenas, and that of Gerald Wallace.. Ewan ko ba hindi ako nakakuha ng mga RCs nila.. Must've slipped my mind when they came out.. Hanggang ngayon wala akong mahanap..

 

Usually I have more than 1 RC of each player..

 

The oldest that I have are the rookie cards of Kevin Johnson, Horace Grant, AC Green, Reggie Miller, David Robinson.. etc.. Medyo inuunti-unti ko ang mga ito.. But I guess hindi ko makokomplete coz of the sheer expenses that I will incur.. Well, maybe in time..

 

My dream is to have the Michael Jordan RC from Fleer.. It is now listed at USD750.00.. And some of the impact oldies like West, Kareem, Oscar Robertson, Wilt.. etc. Kaso makakakuha ka lang ng mga ito if you shell a lot of money and buy them at e-bay..

 

The bulk of my collection is Tim Duncan.. I have the compete Rookie Cards - base rookies only - of Duncan (my most expensive is his Topps Chrome Rookie Refractor at $100).. 60++ memorabilia and 6 different autographed cards .. My target is to get 21 (his jersey number) autographs and 121 memorabilia cards.. Also autographed cards especially that of the legends (ie. Magic, Bird, Dr.J.. etc.).. Kapag sinabi ko autographed, I am talking about authenticated autographed cards that come out of packs.. hindi yung in-person signings na walang authentication, can be had for pennies and do not have the investment "concept" of authenticated ones..

 

Nga pala.. Hindi for sale ang mga ito.. :mtc:

[Manthao]

Wow.... I started collecting 1993 kaso tinigil ko na e.... I do have some rookie cards of some top players pero pinakaoldest ko 1993 talaga.... Nde p ako nakakita ng 1970's na Rookie card....

[revi]

For those who are interested in starting or going back in collecting cards.. Its always good to invest in players whose cards are not that expensive and have a chance to go up in the price guide.. Because this is a NBA rookie card thread.. Lemme share my thoughts on rookie card collecting..

 

Luck is also part of the deal when one collects rookie cards of a certain player.. I do have some favorites in certain rookie crops and I also have my winnings and my losings.. I heavily bought a lot of Dajuan Wagner before.. Nasan na nga ba si Dajuan Wagner ngayon? Injured.. always injured so his cards did not perform well in the secondary market and has since gone down the drain.. But I was lucky to have bought several cards of Manu Ginobili.. Ginobili was not "HOT" when he came in the League but because I was a fan of the Spurs.. I bought his cards.. One autographed card I bought for Php800.00 can now be sold at Php5K.. And I doubt kung bababa pa ito.. Wagner compared to Ginobili was HOT as he was considered as one of the best High School players in the nation (US) before he entered college..

 

One should watch basketball.. And keep you eyes glued on certain rookies.. For this year Gerald Green's RCs have considerably gone up the ricter scale.. So maswerte ang mga bumili ng mga cards niya at a cheap price.. I do have some of his RC's.. but that is a gamble.. Why? Coz Boston did not reach the playoffs this year & Green has not really proved his "hype" in a lot of games.. Although merong mga games na talaga namang BAM BAM WOWOWEE!!! So let us see next year.. I do like the upside on Danny Granger and Raymond Felton this year.. I think collectors also saw that the players mentioned would be good investments dahil tumataas ang value nila sa e-bay.. Medyo mababa pa ang prices nila sa price guide and might be good investments.. But are they still gambles? I would have to say yes..

 

Rookies are good investments only if PUMUTOK sila in the coming seasons.. Kung hindi.. Wala tulog ang cards mo.. But they are nice collections.. I collect all players para kapag pumutok meron ako kahit ilan.. di ba? Like si Boris Diaw - tatatlo lang ang RC ko nito but at least I have some of em.. Unlike sa iba.. wala talaga.. Sino bang may akalain na puputok si Diaw sa Phoenix di ba?

 

Player investments are also gambles.. Penny Hardaway's cards were selling like hotcakes before.. But right now, kung Penny ang collection mo.. Di na yan papansinin in the hobby circles.. Kumbaga you would not be able to sell them in premiums as compared to what you have invested before.. Kung nag-champion si Penny at siya ang center of attention nakupo and mahal ng cards mo.. Ganun eh.. Penny was one of the best players at this heyday.. was even compared to Magic Johnson.. had tons of commercials.. endorsements.. But whoever thought that injury would make his play look like the plays of Shawn Bradley at times.. So.. there, sugal.. di ba?

 

So in collecting players.. rookie cards.. dapat din dinadasalan mo ang mga investments mo sa sports cards.. Yun ang secret ko.. hehehe! :cool: Kidding aside, there is no real clear cut style in sports cards collecting or rookie cards collecting.. You just have to have your own gut feel.. and start from there.. :mtc:

my eyes must have been playing tricks on me haha. sorry my bad.

 

anywayz, going back to collecting is still a long shot for me. it has become too expensive for me already. my collection is already collecting dust in my room as we speak. siguro pag mayaman na ako hehehe

Nice thoughts Revs. Ako naman SPX and SPA RC Autos ng mejo sikat. From rookie year ni Artest to Chris Paul. Sorry dre, still haven't had a chance to scoure the city for Tim cards(tho I heard meron daw).
