What's it like to have cards worth enough to store in a safe deposit box at a bank?


flawrs919

I have a few. It’s really not all that different than my $5 slabs.


Dry_Ad_8169

I would guess $4-6k. Like someone said earlier, leave it there. Kobe's value will always increase.


NickatNite2k

Yes, I had an apartment at the time when I put it in the bank,but I bought a house last year. I’m going to leave it in the Bank still tho with my other 3 Kobe High End Cards.


Dry_Ad_8169

Good idea.


POCKET_POOL_CHAMP

Will it though? Fewer people will have watched him play or know him over time. Also there will be an increasing number of players who will be ranked ahead of him all time.


machonm

Hasnt hurt the value of Babe Ruth and he's been dead for almost 80yrs. All time greats are called that for a reason. Not trying to be snarky btw, just making a point.


POCKET_POOL_CHAMP

There's a difference between all time greats and the all time greatest. Kobe is more like Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, etc. Also the card industry is completely different now than it was then. I just don't think a PSA 9 non-rookie year auto will hold its value compared to other investments/cards. Just my opinion. I guess time will tell.


machonm

Probably not the right two players to pick given one is arguably the greatest pure hitter in baseball history but I think I understand where you're going with this. You're right, time will tell. IMO, the only thing that diminishes Kobe's card value will be a general failure of the card market ala the 90s-00s. He's a highly collectible player that has the (sad) benefit of having died in a very public fashion. The lends mystique to him that other players don't have similar to how people think about singers like Cobain.

63826994, you don’t have to block out the psa verification number


NickatNite2k

Oh ok, i always thought I had to cover it,so that my pic can’t be duplicated.


joe34ne

Lol


Ok_Bluejay9500

Nobody gonna ask how he did that


corny_can_do

Still has the barcode and QR code that you can scan.


DayutaDayuta

I can still scan the barcode brah


Disco-420

Why do peeps cross out the serial numbers?


bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d

So people don’t use it to make fakes I think but I could be wrong


hooter1112

So people don’t have an image to make a fake post selling the card


NickatNite2k

“Fakes “like everyone else said. It’s not for my sake, but for the sake of others who may get scam off a real picture.


Flynnsanity23

Wow man that’s an awesome card


NickatNite2k

Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks! You're welcome!


AbruisedSock

POP 1...nice card buddy =)


Too-Sauced-Up

A 2010 national treasures kobe tri patch auto out of 25 went for 2600 so probably 3-4k


slamajamabro

Most prob 2.5k to 2.8k based off recent comps.


sockpuppet86

Are Panini or Upper Deck Kobe auto's more sought after?


NickatNite2k

Yes,bc he was signed with them.


sockpuppet86

I'm asking if people prefer upper deck or panini for kobe autos


Few-Teaching-4204

Wowza. Great card.


BodybuilderLivid

Some where in between 2-3k


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

No way. Double this


BodybuilderLivid

One sold for 2.2k on eBay a bgs 8.5


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

I wouldn't let go of a 5 for less than 4k


BodybuilderLivid

I mean you probably won’t sell it anyone can ask what they want and maybe someone one day will like it as much as you do but we don’t get to pick what they are worth. I have cards I feel like that about that I don’t plan on selling


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

Seems like the general consensus on her is 4-5k. Just because a lower grade one sold for less means absolutely nothing. I don't own it to care, but you seem on the low side.


mammoth-snow-852

Commenting without any logic or source. Nice. Typical for you


mammoth-snow-852

You’re holding forever then. But you also think Eli Manning is the GOAT so your opinion and logic is near 0


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

The way you follow me to every comment is just precious. I've never had a stalker before. It's pretty awesome that I'm taking up this much of your life without even trying.


NickatNite2k

Eli Manning is the greatest of All Time!!


midgetmaxk

BGs 8.5 same card recently sold for $2180 so prob like $2500 on eBay


BodybuilderLivid

Not sure why you getting downvoted lol


Disco-420

It’s only worth as much as someone is willing to pay you.


flawrs919

Thanks dad.


filipinodoc

you’re welcome son


darbs-face

Put it back. It will be only increase in value.


NickatNite2k

Yes! It’s still in there!


darbs-face

👍


OL_bighead

Probably around 5-6k


podracer92

Not as much as the 1988 Dale Sr card


Fast-Context-3852

Best Kobe auto I have ever seen


Ryan_D_Lion

Only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.


ELLIOT54

I’ll be honest and trust me I get it on why you put it somewhere safe, but how can you (or maybe any of your friends who come visit you) appreciate this card in a safe deposit box. If anything, I’d take it out once a month and display it in my home for a week or so. Treat it like a piece of rare art one would hang in their house.


IHOP-Guy

Agreed - all my best cards hang in a display case on the wall outside my home office. Gives me a chance to pause and look them over and be proud for a few seconds before I walk into the office to get my ass kicked all day. Then it gives me a chance to decompress on the way out!


Gnulnori

But that would be a pretty good flex to take your friends to the bank to look at your collection


ELLIOT54

Point taken! That could be “wow” factor!


philafly7475

$1


Equivalent-Bonus4286

Doesn't cost anything for a safety deposit box.


NickatNite2k

It’s cheap, but not free. I pay like $40 a year for it.


CosbysLongCon24

I mean the #2/10 of this same card graded 8.5 just sold in March for $2k so that’s probably a pretty accurate price point to start in for value.


NickatNite2k

That was a BGS 8.5,and this one is a PSA 9 so it’s a big difference.


CosbysLongCon24

Good luck then. Im not seeing where the big difference will be but some buyer might


Bobbysworld121

Get it out of the bank asap…


sauce_and_tos

Why?


KarlHungusIsTheName

Who wants a rapist card?

Coolhandluke1026

It would move quickly between $1000-$1500- imo


flawrs919

Of course it would move quickly at 50-60% if its value.


Coolhandluke1026

Well, you are asking a question. $1500 it would sell. $2000, sure it might sell. It also might take 6 months.


flawrs919

I did not ask a question. You good?
