Value, to a serious collector, certainly revolves around not only the condition but also the scarecity of the card. I have been personally collecting TOM BRADY ROOKIES and Brady high-end notable cards since 2001. The cards I cringed at shelling out the lofty $70 - 150 dollars have now peaked at $400 - $4000.00 . I have recently sold merely 3 cards which paid for my entire investment in Tom Brady.The collection totals 114 cards, including rookies, rookie autographed, Super Bowl memorabila carsd with auto, and limited serial numbered cards. Typically, the higher values have been achieved after grading by a sports collectibles service. This process ensures a reasonable third party assesment and protects the card inside a sealed archival quality case. The various foils, embossing, and Autographs are very condition sensitive and easily rendered less valuable even with the slightest handling. This process also helps reassure other collectors/investors in knowing what they are paying for when a transaction cannot be made in person, as with eBay. My cards have been acquired from as far away as Hawaii! I recently sold a PSA graded card to a collector in Washington state and Oregon. My original investment over a six year collecting period was between $6,000 - $ 7000. In summary, although I have parted with 8 very nice cards, my remaining "retail value" as reported by Beckett exceeds $23,000 ! Divided by 114, well, you do the math!
