Something you'll Never see a football card do

Bring in $750 for a parallel rookie, no auto, no jersey, no patch, just a #'d card -

I have no clue what some of these guys are thinking :shifty:

 

[sliqwill]

never heard of the guy

 

[ernieren]

He was this yrs #1 pick also hes in new york so that seems to jack up prices .

 

[gadsden86]

wow nuts

 

[rexvos]

colossal waste of money in my opinion, but to each their own.

Also helps when all of Canada, and most of Europe can help jack up prices.

I personally don't think Tavares will ever be a top 10 player and I can see this being a $200 card in about a year but all the factors are there for big sales: #1 pick, NY market, new product, best #'d parallel card there is for a rookie.

There are also 2 guys I know that do the Young Guns rookie sets in the HG edition every year and they will fight over ones they need. Mix in the Tavares collectors, Islander fan (do they have fans ) and prospectors and you have a huge sale.
