Yup, dre.. You read it right Php1-5M for some.. but one opens Php30M for UD Exquisite alone.. That's the "whoa!" of the Basketball card hobby in the Philippines nowadays.. Gone were the days that people open half boxes for Php800.00 or open packs to get inserts..

 

Me, I rely on e-bay for most of my cards.. And also I rely on the person who opens cases of cards (the Php30M dude) like most of my fellow hobbyists.. That person is our savior.. coz if he was not around.. cards would be selling top the shelf.. That person, if you wanna know, sells his cards cheap.. around 1USD is to 20-30PHP lang.. around Php50M yata ang si-ni-spend niya to open packs/boxes/cases in one hobby season (a year)..

 

Once, he opened 2 cases of UD Ultimate Collection in Courtside, Galleria (which is rare - he orders boxes/cases from the States usually) worth Php140K.. He was able to get a 3 color Duncan patch.. One pack is worth 6,500.00.. He sold it to me for Php1K only.. He knows I am into Duncan and was generous enough to give a poor soul a TD Card he cherished, hehehe! Actually, this guy is a friend of mine (but not too close).. He has shops all over Ortigas/Greenhills where he distributes his cards but the top notch cards he sells only on e-bay!!! :thumbsupsmiley:

The pic posted below is a Kobe Topps Chrome Rookie Card and is selling at 225USD now.. This card reached the 300 Dollar mark below but fell drastically when Kobe had that rape case.. An example of a player's card getting down if the player's off-court antics makes the demand of his cards to go down..

 

Now, that Kobe had an 81 point performance.. and almost led LA against the Suns.. this card is now smoking.. BTW, I have this card in my RC collection too.. Got it for 6K when it was valued at USD300.00..

Just won this in e-bay for 3,100PHP.. approximately 57USD.. Medyo mataas.. Got pissed kasi coz I lost in the Allen Iverson autograph with just a dollar in difference.. So I did not care kung mataas ko nakuha itong card na ito..

 

Still, this card is #d to 25.. and contains jerseys of 5 Spurs players who won last year's championship.. and is numbered to Robert Horry's jersey number.. Still, sweet eh.. Here are the pics..

Here's the 2nd pic.. which is the back of the card.. Ganda no?

Thanks dudes..

 

Well, (if you back read) my collection of Tim Duncan was not a stroke of genius but more of luck.. After he won the rookie of the year, I never expected him to win even a single championship.. But I did expect great things to happen to him after his rookie season.. When everybody was going after Keith Van Horn and Ron Mercer cards.. I was looking at Duncan stuff na.. so since 1997 pa ako nangongolekta ng Duncan..

 

Yun nga lang sa internet (e-bay) ang hirap lumaban sa mga Duncan collectors.. Madami na.. after winning three championships.. and a sure shoe-in sa HOF.. Kaya nag-ja-jack-up ang prices ng mga rare cards niya.. esp. the autographed ones.. Very hard to come by.. and the demand is so great..

 

I am attaching to this post a pic of a similar card that I have.. that came from Topps Luxury Box.. Its a Quad Jersey card of Duncan/Parker/Ginobili and Horry.. My card that is similar from this pic is #d to 193.. and I bought it for Php1K lang.. Not too rare but a nice addition to my growing collection..

Kudos to Revi! Apparently, he has done well in collecting and investing basketball cards. I've been unlucky in investing on cards. I used to have truckloads of Penny Hardaway cards (back in the 90s). Those cards are totally worthless now (while Penny is cashing in on a 15 Million dollar pay check this year!). I also speculated on Shareef Abdur-Rahim. I bought Rahim rookie cards for about 5 pesos to 10 pesos only back in the 90s. I thought he was going to be a huge 20-10 guy with tremendous value on collector's items. This guy was rock solid on the court -- but not on the collector's market. I think the only collections I have now which have some solid worth are my MJ cards, Shaquille cards and Kobe cards. The others have gone bust.

 

Revi -- what's your take on KG cards? Still on the way up or time to sell?

Many thanks..

 

Dude, if you have an autographed card of Penny.. Hold on to it.. coz it still sells nicely in the market.. Also his Finest rookie card lalo na kung may refractor na Finest RC ka.. It still commands a premium.. coz these cards are rare..

 

There is no concrete advise to be given if you want to invest in a player.. Merong pitfalls because of injury.. I have my own share of investing and going bust.. Like si Dajuan Wagner.. Dajuan who?

 

With regards to Kevin Garnett cards.. His rookie cards have stabilized now after they have gone up after he won the MVP 3 years ago.. His Topps Finest RC can still be sold at Php2K+++.. Sad to say, his inserts at autographs na hind rookie year have stayed the same.. I would say that its not yet time to sell coz he is not hot now.. But the potential is still there especially if he transfers to a contender.. And I doubt kung bababa pa ang presyo ng mga cards ni KG.. So, my take is, hold on to them and just sell them if bumulusok siya ulit.. Worth the gamble naman eh.. I do think there are plans of him transfering to the Lakers.. Just hope so, for his own sake.. Partnering with Kobe can do wonders to his career and to his cards as well.. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Case in point.. Dirk Nowitzki's cards are selling like hot cakes now in e-bay.. His autographed card that is valued at USD40.00 in Beckett is being sold at around USD200.. way above book value di ba? Kahit cards ni Dwyane Wade ngayon sobrang high ng demand..

I saw some promise in the game of Raymond Felton.. The rookie Point Guard from the Charlotte Bobcats.. I bought several rookie cards of Felton.. and got one of his most prized RCs.. (as pictured below: got the card at Php750.00 only).. around USD30-60 yata ito sa price guide..

 

I shared this to you guys so that you would have an idea how the rookie cards of today look like.. (autographed na ang mga mahal - hindi kamukha noon na puros Topps Chrome lang at Finest ang mahal)..

 

Rather than investing much on Chris Paul (this year's rookie of the year), whose cards are flying off the shelf.. I'd rather invest in Granger or Felton RCs whose RCs are not that high as compared to Paul's.. at least may chance pa na tumaas ang mga ito.. dahil sa upside ng mga players na ito.. Especially si Danny Granger (of Indiana) whose cards are way-below his hype..

 

This is a sample of an SPX Rookie Card of Raymond Felton.. numbered ito to 750 only..

Danny Granger is hyped as another Scottie Pippen. Could be another winner right there. :thumbsupsmiley:
