Will Drew Brees rookie cards go up in value now that he broke the record?

[Wabash Wonders]

I haven't been into buying or selling trading cards in a while but still have quite a few and was curious if Brees's card may go up in value now. Anyone that's into this have any thoughts? And not like it would be any huge amount I know that, but just curious.

Stuff always goes up when the subject is the "all-time record" for whatever.

But like you said, not by a ton. Get a ball signed by Brees after the season with the record inscribed on it or penned by him, hold onto it for 50 years, and if no one else breaks the record, you'll have like $1000.

wont go up much if at all imo, cards value based much more on rarity than whether or not he's #1 or #4 all time passer

Yea, I know its all about selling at the right time. Its been about 10 years since the last time I sold one of my cards so was just curious what it was like now. The last card I sold was an Eric Lindross rookie card that was graded 9.5 by beckett. At the time it was the only 9.5 grade for one of his cards by Beckett. It was maybe worth $50 but when he got traded to New York I put it on ebay and got $200 for it. I even got $60 for a couple of his cards that were not graded. Those cards are probably worth about $10 tops now,lol.

The one I have is numbered but pretty high. #1233 of 1499. And it is graded 9(mint) by Beckett so that will help the value. But you re correct, the rarity of the card does mean more than stats of player usually...

It will help the value of the card a far as before the record is concerned. The rarity and condition also adds value. But to answer the question outright as. Whole then yes. But what the guys mentioned before adds more value as well. Wish I had one. Just baseball cards and baseball cards and bass for me. Still waiting on Pete Rose to hopefully get off the hook so one mine will go up. Probably won't happen though.

I don't think they will go up by much. Maybe in 20 years but they mass produce them so even then it won't be a dramatic increase.

Come to think of it I have an Anthony Calvillo's mint card in a clear package that was sent to me years ago by the Montreal Alouettes' organization.

---------------
Anthony Calvillo (born August 23, 1972) is a Canadian Football League quarterback, currently playing for the Montreal Alouettes. He is the all-time professional football passing yards leader and first in all-time CFL passing yards. In his career, he has passed for over 70,000 yards and is one of four professional quarterbacks to have completed over 400 touchdown passes (others include Brett Favre, Warren Moon and Dan Marino).[2] He currently leads the all-time QB rating list and surpassed Damon Allen to enter into the CFL record books as the record holder for most career TD passes and most career completions. He has won three Grey Cup championships in 2002, 2009, and 2010, being named Grey Cup Most Valuable Player in 2002. He has won the CFL's Most Outstanding Player Award three times, in 2003, 2008, and 2009, which ties him for second all-time behind Doug Flutie.

Like I mentioned earlier, this is numbered 1233/1499, so there are only 1499 out there. That is a limited amount compared to what you are referring to. I don't think its worth a whole lot, maybe $50 or so. Like I said earlier, I know its not worth any huge amount, but if he wins another SB, it could be worth $100 and Id try to sell it then probably..

[mrhotpicks2]

it will barely even go up because of this. just not how it works. generally unless you have a guy like Jordan, cards have a ceiling in the middle of their career. now Brees auto rookies will always hold solid value.

[be47320]

Market has fallen out. I have a psa 9 Barry bonds 87 fleer glossy and an 85 topps mcgwire olympic rookie psa 9 and they barely went up even when they were breaking records and the McGwire was before all of the steroids stuff.

I dont follow the hobby myself but aren't there so many rookie cards put out by other companies in limited edition sets that it waters down the value of them all.
I cant see that Anthony Calvillo rookie being worth anything down the road but its nice to have it as a collectible. CFL cards must be way under produced then the NFL.

put the gum back into the cards

Hof will make a difference more than this record.... Set it comes from will make a difference as well. You talking auto card... Auto patch card??

As they worth what somebody is willing to pay
