10 High Powered Vintage Basketball Cards

December 31, 2015 By Rich Mueller

1957-58 Topps Bill Russell

Basketball card collecting exploded during the 1990s, as did card production numbers.  Once  unappreciated cards from all eras suddenly had a big following--and bigger prices thanks to the rise of Michael Jordan, the arrival of David Robinson, the 1992 Dream Team, increased TV coverage and the convergence of numerous popular Hall of Fame players.  Yet the NBA's history goes … [Read more...] about 10 High Powered Vintage Basketball Cards

NBA Finals MVPs of the 2000s and Their Rookie Cards

June 16, 2015 By Rich Mueller

Like the 1990s, the first decade of the 21st century had a bit of a dynasty feel at the start.  The Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen Bulls had faded into history, replaced by Shaq and Kobe.  While they didn’t win every NBA Finals MVP of the 2000s, their rookie cards were at the top of collector want lists. Some of them date back to the previous decade while others were … [Read more...] about NBA Finals MVPs of the 2000s and Their Rookie Cards

Rookie Cards of 1980s NBA Finals MVPs

June 4, 2015 By Rich Mueller

It was the decade that brought us the Showtime Lakers, the gritty, gutty Celtics and Sixers and a rebirth of pro basketball under commissioner David Stern.  The hoops card market was struggling as the 1980s began but still gave us one of the era's greatest cards.  By the end, it was a free-for-all but some of the greats who won MVPs in the era had their rookie cards during the … [Read more...] about Rookie Cards of 1980s NBA Finals MVPs

Pete Maravich Rookie Card Still Stands Tall

May 28, 2015 By Rich Mueller

1970-71 Topps Pete Maravich

It may be hard for today’s fans to understand in a world where every great college player has a lengthy highlight reel but there was still a bit of a mystery surrounding the NBA’s most anticipated prospect back in 1970. Only a few of his college games had been televised nationally.  Pro scouts could only guess as to his impact on the league.  The interest and value of … [Read more...] about Pete Maravich Rookie Card Still Stands Tall

DeMarcus Cousins a Worthwhile Investment?

April 4, 2015 By Rich Mueller

DeMarcus Cousins Panini Certified rookie auto

He’s among the NBA leaders in scoring and rebounding but that doesn't mean basketball cards of DeMarcus Cousins are priced at a similar level.  Collectors who want cards of one of the NBA's most dominating players—and a potential future Hall of Famer-- can find plenty of them for much less than you might expect. Cousins and the Sacramento Kings have struggled and his … [Read more...] about DeMarcus Cousins a Worthwhile Investment?

5 Underrated Old Basketball Card Sets

February 18, 2015 By Darren Smythe

Larry Bird 1981-82 Topps

While many collectors chase the most valuable old basketball card sets like the original Bowman, 1957 Topps or 1961 Fleer, there are many other issues to consider.  And maybe it’s time we redefined the word “old” because the 80s were a long time ago now and that’s where some value-packed sets reside.  The interest in iconic and memorable players from the 1980s and 90s … [Read more...] about 5 Underrated Old Basketball Card Sets
