Perfect NBA cards picks? Even if selling is a casual part of your collecting (it is for most of us in some form), take the time to figure out where the best place is and way to do it. One other thing to remember is that this can be an expensive hobby now. If you’re buying a box purely speculating on a return, you’re likely to lose out quickly. And losing a significant amount of money a couple of times will quickly lead to burnout. So if it’s a business you’re looking for, research the market first. If you’re here primarily for a hobby, stick with what you enjoy and what’s in your budget. That way, the worst case scenario of getting a scrub player doesn’t seem so bad.
Unopened packs have always had the allure of the unknown. While new packs once were relatively cheap unless they contain a key rookie, that is not the case today, due to the prevalence of inserts. New unopened packs can range anywhere in cost from $1-$100 and vintage unopened packs from the 1950s and earlier can easily go for thousands of dollars. The biggest key to card prices, invariably, is the player on the card. While scarcity and condition are key things to consider when determining prices, it is ultimately the desirability of the player on the card that is the determinant of price. Player desirability is a product of many factors. Ultimately, player desirability is a combination of numbers (i.e. their career statistics), regional factors, and a certain intangible quality. In most cases, offensive players who are considered the best in their sport will be those of the greatest value (the only defensive players of value are strikeout pitchers and the occasional goalie, like Patrick Roy.)
Good choice for a future huge rookie card value increase? Zion Williamson! You heard it right! Born in Salisbury, North Carolina, Williamson attended Spartanburg Day School, where he was a consensus five-star recruit and was ranked among the top five players in the 2018 class. He led his team to three straight state championships and earned South Carolina Mr. Basketball recognition in his senior season. Williamson also left high school as a McDonald’s All-American, runner-up for Mr. Basketball USA, and USA Today All-USA first team honoree. In high school, he drew national attention for his slam dunks. Zion Williamson can have a fairly healthy career ? Then i would prepare for a big price increase for his rookie cards.

One of the more unusual cards on this list is Michael Jordan’s 1985 Prism Jewel Sticker issue. The hologram of Jordan going up for a reverse dunk put this card ahead of its time in terms of design standards. These Michael Jordan cards weren’t widely distributed and were often sold out of vending machines that sat in store fronts. If you’re lucky enough to find one that survived in top shape then you’re looking at a high price tag. After Chamberlain’s rookie, it’s tough to say what the next most valuable basketball card from the 1961 Fleer set is. But Oscar Robertson’s rookie makes as good of a case as any. The “Big O” could do everything on the court and famously became the first NBA player to average a triple-double in 1962. That dominance made him a legend and a collector favorite as a result.
