Im looking to invest in a case of baskettball cards, im trying to find out what is the hottest thing out right now that will give me the most for my money. If you could let me know of what some are, it would be really helpful.
Thanks

Topps Chrome is always a good bet.

which year though, that I also need to know.

96/97 or this year. The best rookie crop of players in the last few years. another good Case would be 96/97 Finest.

Really any higher end stuff w/ Kobe rc's in it.

Or wait til Lebron James rc are out after the Draft. That would be A hit or miss buy,m But think of the possibilities 20 years later if this guy is the real deal?

does 2002-2003 chrome have a lot of good stuff in it?

Yao Ming, Amare Stoudamire are the Big ones, but it also has Jay Williams.

I'm going to move this post to the Basketball card talk forum,
This forum is for tradeing only. Sorry

well thanks I will check it out if anybody else has any info let me know I would be happy to hear from you.
thanks

your best bet is to pick the Kobe rookie years.

It's highly unlikely Lebron plays 15-20 years. He's going to get almost $40M (salary, endorsements, shoes, colas, etc) in just his rookie season alone.

By his 5th season, he'll be making over $100M contract, or about $20M per year.

I'd take Kobe

plus you get refractors and stuff the black and white bordered refractors and if you get a ming white refr, you can get well over 100+ for it

hot rookies
ming
stoudemire
me
butler- who long term might be better that ming/stoudemire
gooden
Jwill

and it is not that expensive either, I know the packs are selling for like $2.99 retail

thanks guys I am checking it out now, it also dpends how likley it is to get somthing good out of it.

Where do you plan on buying it?

Tim

My freind works for a wholesale company and he will hook me up with a case os somthing for a tad less money then it ussualy would be.

I was also thinking of buying a case of either Upper Deck SP or SPX, do you think that would be good. Or do you think it's too risky.

Upper deck IMO, is too risky, They flood the market, and alot of there product is just garbage. You dont see anyone talking about the sp or spx from several years ago... do ya!

good point I guess thats more of a short term profit, cause you can make some quick cash with SP and SPX.

chrome does seem lke the best long term value

SPX is a fad, IMO.

Tim

Yes a fad that will make you lots of money though

Hey guys how smart is it to buy a couple of boxes of Ex 2000 year 96 of the Kobe Rookie. Is that risky to spend all that money and could end up with nothing. Let me know guys

Reserve 02-03 UD Inspirations. 02-03 HHP, Chrome, Ultimate Collection, SP Game Used, UD CHampionship drive.

Go with Upper Deck Ultimate, it's pricy, but worth it.

I wouldn't waste your money. Buy a box of 1999 SPX football.

I wouldn't spend your money on that. Right now it is VERY expensive and if you buy it you are most likely not going to get your money back.

Safest bet is to find a product that is not that expensive but still contains great cards.

Yeah, get stuff from the 1996 year; in my opinion, it was the best draft year EVER (condolences to 1984 and 1999). You've got Kobe Bryant, who is always a big seller; and if you don't get Kobe RCs, you'll end with consolation prizes like Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, Antoine Walker, and Steve Nash RCs.
