Yeah prices are crazy. But now is a great time to be picking up cards of these guys. While Arianny and Brock (I run away when someone hits me in the face) Lesnar Cards continue to soar, and everyone is after the 'Next big thing' chasing guys like Jon Jones and co, now is a great time to pick up the legends/greats (not sure if Id call Baroni a legend or a great, but you get what I mean). Liddell, Nogueira, Matt Hughes, Vitor, even a guy like Rich Franklin, they've all been there and done it, all legends/greats of the sport, yet there cards are extremely affordable at the moment. No one seems to care about these guys for whatever reason.
Chuck Liddell is a good example. His rookie Topps auto from ME finished at 33 dollars a few weeks ago after auction. Crazy cheap. Im starting to pick up quite a nice Chuck collection for peanuts at the moment. In years to come these are the guys people are going to remember and talk about.... not Arriany and co.
I still cant belive the price Jon Jones demands, sure he is an impressive prospect, but this sport and especially the card collecting side of things has got so many bandwagon jumpers, when jon jones looses there is going to be a lot of sad and sorry and broke collectors. Especially if Bader beats him, watch Baders autos quadriple in price lol.
