Zion rookie cards advices
Zion cards tricks? Yes, prices have risen. But before you start writing the entire hobby off because of these types of products, remember that not every product is meant for everyone. There are collectors out there with the means to drop thousands of dollars on cards without much of a thought. We can choose to resent these products or we can focus on the things that we enjoy. It is a choice. Personally, I have a hard time spending $100 on a box of cards. I accept the fact that the top-level products are out of my range and move on. I find spending my time, energy and money on the things I like to be much more enjoyable.
Is Professional Grading Worth It? Companies such as Beckett and Collectors Universe provide professional grading services; that is, an independent organization that will, for a fee, grade your card (either through a hobby shop, by mail or at a show) and provide a rating of your card. Most grading services are identified by a 3 or 4 letter anagram (Beckett Grading Services—BGS, Professional Sportscard Authenticators—PSA) and most have a rating scale of 10 (some have a scale of 100) ranging from Poor (1) to Gem-Mint or Pristine (10). In addition, these companies add additional codes to indicate other defects, such as “OC” for off-center cards. Most grading companies issue “population reports”, which tell collectors how many of a given card has been given a certain grade, so a collector can see how scarce a card is in a given grade.

George Mikan’s 1948 Bowman rookie card tops our list as the “Holy Grail” of all basketball cards. The legendary center was the game’s first unstoppable big man and set the bar for other big men like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell who would soon follow. The imagery of the card is unforgettable as it features a hard-charging Mikan atop a deep blue background. Centering and edge toning are common challenges with this card. And it’s also interesting to note that you may run across some hand-cut specimens after several uncut sheets of 1948 Bowmans surfaced a while ago.
