The 1982 Topps set is a great example of "can't miss investment". This set was loaded with monster rookies; Ripken, Hrbek, Sax, Bell, Barfield, Brunanski, Wallach and lord knows how many more "hot" rookies I am forgetting from that set. When all was said and done, only Ripken panned out to be a HOFer and no one wants his card from the regular set. They want his second card, not his true rookie card.

the funnies thing I ever saw at a show was in 1987 at a big show in Chicago that I set up at. One of the main signers they had at the show was "Future HOFer Williw Banks", the Twins #1 pick and first overall in the draft. I think he barely got a cup of coffee in the bigs.
