Have you guys noticed the incredible prices these old inserts have been bringing lately? What used to be just a ho hum unnumbered insert card has now turned into one of the most sought after collectibles in the hobby.
Well, Upper Deck and Pannini have taken notice as well and have included similar items in their latest releases. Since Upper Deck owns the Fleer brand they have no trouble at all bringing the Gems back in 2012 Upper Deck Fleer Retro. Pannini had to disguise their release in their latest Totally Certified issue.
Well, sure enough, collectors have gone nuts over these new inserts and prices reflect it. Finally, a Jordan surfaced:

Yikes!! That is a lot of dough.
Keep an eye on these releases. I bet we see prices continue to climb. Did you buy any of these packs? Would you take a chance on some of the lesser players thinking they may go up in value? Let us know. I would be interested in others opinions on this.
