meh...foreign issues...esp baseball have never been terribly popular/valuable.

I'm surprised how sanellas...and the variants have taken off seeing as these aren't really cards...atleast not to me. Another example of how the TPG'ers have created a market for some cards.

i believe churchmans...like many british tobacco are quite plentiful.

A rising tide raises all ships...no doubt...and any and all period ruths will/should continue to rise.

Heck even some non playing day ruths are commanding high prices...like the auction that ended here last night?

For basketball PC'ers it is quite the opposite as far as pre ~1994ish goes...especially for stickers. Most of the 1980-1994 stuff is incredibly tough to obtain in original condition (wrappers/cards/stickers) and I would say is the most sought-after player items since basketball didn't have much going on from 1980-1986.

Not sure I follow. Compared to any of the non-mainstream basketball from the pre-1980 period, anything made after 1980 is common. There's stuff in the catalogs I've never seen 'in the wild', or rarely seen. And, since we need a card:

What I am saying is...as a top PC'er of an 80's star basketball player...is that the foreign oddballs from 1980-early 90's are the most sought-after cards of such players (i.e. Greek paninis, Israeli elite stickers, Argentina stickers, gigantes items, French majeurs, all of the Yugo and Russian cards, Japanese and Chinese magazine stock cards, etc.). The early star cards, fakes, etc. are just much more plentiful.

Ahh I see; that makes sense.
