At this point, who really cares except people who have money in this situation already?

collectors who pre-date the internet (and Beckett magazine) care

I have ZERO money on the line. Its a rookie card.

I will say it again though, collect what you like. This card is not for me, but I realize some will like the design.

If you look at the checklist on Topps' website it doesn't have RC on there.

Jeter did not have a single AB in a NY Yankees Uniform until May of 1995

Ummm ... were you around in the 90s? Brien Taylor and Alex Rodriguez were both significantly bigger prospects and "can't miss" than Jeter, i am ok with both sides of this RC debate on Wander but factual errors about the early 90s are unacceptable

What a mess of silliness.....

All it takes is a few gullible bidders.

Seems like quite more than a few, what other raw base RC is selling this high for ultra modern?

1st off, TY for the laugh

If you want to, i can edit my previous post to add the words "one of" if it makes you all warm and fuzzy as your feelings really matter

I think the reason why Jeter was in so many sets in 1993 was that he wasn't signed to an exclusive deal by a card manufacturer. I believe Phil Nevin and Jeffrey Hammonds were Classic exclusives. Same reason you see Michael Tucker, B.J. Wallace, and Chad Mottola across almost all those products.

seriously? its a base card and will be selling for $10 in a few months once all his rookie cards release. Do not get sucked in and pay sucker prices.

Unless Beckett takes off their RC logo, I doubt the Wander will ever get down to 10 bucks. I think there are a ton of people who would gladly stockpile these at a higher amount than that

Stockpile them to collect and hold forever, or stash away and hope more gullible bidders jump into the ring?

Probably option B I would think.

I have a feeling we will hear the words "true RC" for a looooong time

Suckers will be paying money for his flagship that will have a million made and be $5 after they pay $50 to start.

There's way more chance this retains value than some overproduced S1.

Imagine needing Beckett to tell you how to think &/or collect

Only from the people looking to sell and the crazies here on blowout. These same people are on every twitter mention of "Wander" or "Bowman's Best" trying to cram it down people's throat. I'm starting to Wander if they are trying to convince the hobby or themselves...

one could say that its the other way around

those saying 2022 are his RCs are saying so because of monetary reasons

Definitely. I think we’re seeing both. I’m not accusing everyone of having monetary motives for their particular stance, but there’s hefty chunk on both sides.
