What's Hot, What's Not, July 2014 Edition

[GregMitch34]

Always fun to do this--if you go beyond "what I own is hot." Or lamenting that what you own is "not." Of course, we all know CJ 14s remain hotter than hot, but beyond that, what over the past few months? And what's cold in summer of 2014? T206 "Ex" for all HOFers were surging all spring but now have leveled off, though hardly cold. CJ 15s are now gaining. What else?

Babe Ruths. Especially early ones. I can kick myself for selling what I had when I had them....

Hi Greg,

It is your thread, but can I suggest you indicate "hot" since when?

Some board members will think T206 backs are hot because 6 years ago the prices were way lower (yet over that timeframe the folks who track this almost daily would say there have been many hot and cold periods over those years).

Others who are very active buyers/sellers will think "hot" means prices up since 2013. I think this is more what you are looking for?

Cheers,
Blair

Thanks, by "hot" I mean in recent months or at least 2014....current, you might say....

Also, I am always a bit mystified by the many references to "early Babe Ruth" cards--how early is early? With Boston? Pre-Goudey? Or what?

Hot: the twin cities

Not hot: the yankees
