I’ve seen too many people get cards damaged and whatnot in shipping. However, I’d much rather go with the certainty of buying graded cards – especially when you’re paying a decent price online. Sure, if you’re great at assessing a card’s value over the internet, you can buy ungraded cards and then grade them and make and increase their value. To make sure we’re getting the best bang for our buck, we’re only looking at cards that are graded on this list. So, I’ve done some homework for you, and I’ve found some other rookie cards that could be a good buy for those that don’t have a house deposit sitting in their back pocket. However, we all can’t afford 60k for a basketball card (no matter how cool it is). Obviously, those cards are always going to be a pretty sound investment over time if that’s what you’re into.

Row 1, which is a moderate level of scarcity.I did a little homework on this card because – surprisingly, Flair’s 1996 offering isn’t in my wheelhouse.
