Rookie Card Review

The hottest rookie in basketball right now, Ja Morant, still has rookie cards available for under $10? Let’s take a look at how a few raw cards could prove to be money makers in the long term, especially when graded by PSA!

A few thoughts on 2020 Topps Gypsy Queen, a set I particularly like for its short prints, variations, and overall design. 

Today we look to answer a common rookie card question: which baseball rookie cards are the better long-term value? Are they the 1st Bowman Chrome cards of a player, or their first Topps Chrome Rookie Card with the RC logo? We discover some things you may not expect and some potential value plays when it comes to both types of cards.

2020 Topps Inception is a rookie card focused product, a hobby box that comes with just 7 cards including a guaranteed autograph. Is it worth the gamble to buy these boxes? Is it worth keeping sealed boxes around for the long term? Or, should you just buy the singles? We cover those questions and more on the Rookie Card Review sports card podcast.

2020 Bowman is the most anticipated baseball hobby product of the year. 2019 Bowman was one of the most successful sets of all time, and 2018 Bowman is full of strong cards as well. But when you look at preorder prices for 2020 Bowman, you may be surprised just how close the 2018 and 2019 Bowman sealed product still is in price. Will the sealed products of any of these sets end up doubling - or even tripling - in price like 2017 Bowman sealed product has thanks to Cody Bellinger's MVP season?
