Welcome to a new weekly article series on Sports Card Radio intended to help you identify some of the more interesting cards that are for sale around the hobby. You’re not going to find over-hyped and mass produced modern cards here in this list. Instead we’ll curate items that we feel are “investment grade” type cards that will last the test of time. We’ve included some relevant information like the PSA/BGS Pop report, along with the last relevant sale price. If you see any interesting cards for sale – feel free to e-mail us: sportscardshow @ gmail.com and maybe they’ll make the list.
Full disclosure – Ryan and I will likely be bidding – or are bidding on some of these cards.
