"Blue-chip stocks are large companies with strong brands, financially sound businesses and consistent earnings and cash flows. They also often pay sizable dividends. Blue-chip companies are typically leaders within their given market sectors and have successfully navigated economic downturns in the past."

From this definition, I would say the best player in the best grade. Some of those players were mentioned above.

Chipping will have a deleterious effect on grading and it really doesn't matter what color the chip is.

If you're going blue and going Mays, then you might as well go all in.

Admittedly, some might argue that some of these are more azzurro (sky blue) than true blue.

Everything he has is "blue chip".

One difference I see is that when trouble comes, our government has shown a willingness to bail out blue chip companies; when the value of your 12.5 mil '52 Mantle starts freefalling, you're on your own.

The big players and big cards which have been popular for a very long time.

They can also be identified by looking at the cards the majority of collectors get very upset over when they see anything not serving the purpose of pumping that card up. Those are the ones lots have bought into as their safe picks
