Football (Brady)/Baseball (Trout)/Basketball (James)

Drdduet · 11-28-2016, 05:13 PM

Which one of these has the greatest long term potential in your opinion--

PSA 10 2003-04 Topps Chrome Lebron James
PSA 10 2000 Bowman Chrome Tom Brady
PSA 10 2009 Bowman Sterling Auto Mike Trout

I like all 3, but have a hard time deciding on one.

LeBron.

Brady? It's Football. Simple as that. Potential is limited for that reason alone... and if you're asking about highest ceiling it's definitely not a Football item when others would obviously prefer his SPA (for base) or Contenders (for autographed)

Trout? Too many other options (in my opinion)... that Sterling is a great card, and I almost picked one up myself, but it's still "Sterling". I'd rather have a Chrome PSA 10 for half the price

EDIT - I didn't even see you said Auto on Trout. I definitely wouldn't want that. I'd rather save up for a Bowman Chrome. There are way better options. I thought you meant the base Sterling which goes in the $500+ range amazingly.

LeBron? Outside of autographed rookies, which we aren't discussing, the Topps Chrome (especially with prior history of a guy like Kobe) is the one to have. It will always be the best "base rookie" of LeBron in PSA 10 condition.

Not to mention Basketball will always win in the market. That's just reality.

I have a LeBron. Perhaps I'm biased. I also really want a Brady but it wouldn't be my first pick at current values.

Lebron by a mile. Football doesn't hold its value very often. I love Mike Trout but the Bowman Sterling card can only go so far because at the end of the day it is a sticker auto. Also in baseball, chrome is king. If it isn't chrome then it could come back down in price at some point.

Post this in all 3 sections and compare your results

It's not hard to predict the outcome

bdrr · 11-28-2016, 06:46 PM

Honestly, I think the Brady. They're tougher to PSA 10. And, well, Brady probably is the GOAT there.

And honestly, investment wise Kobe Chrome 10 over LBJ Chrome 10

No matter where you post it, basketball has a much wider audience world wide and I think the basketball card would be the safest bet.

I agree, but I'm interested to see how different people think.

6celtics33 · 11-28-2016, 09:28 PM

It's not just Lebron, topps chrome is the best and most popular brand of the 3 by far

Drdduet · 06-23-2017, 11:42 AM

At the time I posted this they were each about $400 cards....if I remember correctly,

appears the hobby is healthy

Drdduet · 06-23-2017, 11:57 AM

I hope you all picked up some before the doubling....
