Which base set RCs have the highest future value?

[huckler731]

I know Bowman Chrome and Topps Chrome are highly collected. What is the best set for rookie base cards to keep for future value and to get graded? Thanks for your help.

has alot less to do with the set than the player.....look at brady / manning / LT.....there super low end stuff has increased a bunch over the last 12-18 months, and so has their high end....it really depends what you are looking for

are you talking about doing a set or what?

[huckler731]

No, I'm not doing a set.
I was wondering what base set RCs are the best to collect and grade for the players in my signature or 2007 top QBs and RBs?

its really just preference man.....again, the increase in values rarely have to do with the set, more the player....as far as grading, some sets are easier to get good grades on....some sets (topps, topps chrome, bowman chrome, etc) have centering issues.....some foil sets have border issues....there are ALOT of factors that go into your question.....personally, i like classics / elite rookies.....but to say that they have a better chance than any other set of increasing in value just isn't true.....if ted ginns topps chrome rookie goes up in price, chances are that his other rookies will too

Yeah, I opened a box of Bowman Chrome and it seemed that almost all the cards had off centering to my untrained naked eye without measuring.

ill tell you that if it doesn't look FLAWLESS to the naked eye, its probably not worth sending to a reputable company for grading (if you are looking for the grade to add value to the card)
