second year cards more valuable than rookies?

[the 'stache]

Besides being a high series card, the Favre Stadium Club card is unique, as his first Stadium Club card was issued when he was an Atlanta Falcon. The second, more valuable card, was issued when he went to Green Bay. Munson, Bench, Mantle et all stayed with the same team for their careers. The Falcons gave up a future Hall of Famer. The Packers fleeced the Falcons badly. <3 Ron Wolf.

No idea about Hamilton. Not Nuxhall. The ones I was thinking of are Mike Cuellar (59 60T then no card until 65T) and Lou Piniella (64T then no card until 68T). I had not thought of Wills but that is a great one.

Speaking of Piniella he must be the only player to appear on THREE of the two player rookie cards -- 64 68 and then again in 69. All with different teams.

This isn't a great example, but in cards graded a 9, George Brett's '76 card almost doubles his '75 card. Not so much in 8's or less.

i would like to thank mikehealer for point out my complete idiocy. i am a huge collector of the 76 brett card. even snagged that recent psa 8.

the 76 brett is almost impossible to find w/o a tilt, a severe pd and it's almost always completely oc. to find one otherwise is a true needle.

you are completely right and im an idiot.

the 76 in a 9 most certainly trumps a 75 in a 9.

this fits the criteria of exactly what i'm looking for.

so great example and good work!

good work!

A 1975 PSA 9 just sold for 2765 in PWCC, whereas the prior ones mostly seem to go in the high 1s. I wonder what was so special about this one.

al,

might not fit the criteria...(hadn't researched all 4 cards yet on pricing yet)

BUT

that is incredible and making a note on the original post.

and thanks for teaching me something today!

At least in PSA 8, 1971 Topps Vida Blue outsells 1970 Topps RC. Same with 71 Buckner.

[Rookiemonster]

If we are getting grades involved then willie Mays fits . 1951 bowman to 1952 topps is the same for the most part in the mid range . The 1952 is cheaper in poorer conditions . But in high grade the 52 goes for more .

There are a lot more 52 out there then 51s .

That was some fun trivia Peter - thanks for posting!
