Fair dinkim if you are a smarter enough kid in the last 5 years to protect your cards you will make some cash in the future. The kids these days are getting dumber and not protecting their investments. Seen this a lot lately
Kids are kids. They got no idea. I give my kids a mint common set, and they page them. Then they move them around. And play games with them. And scoop them all up and put them back in their binders/pages. Sure...they aren't mint any more, but they're building memories, having fun and growing an affinity for RL and cricket. They enjoy filling gaps in their sets when they built their first set this year. They love lining up and trying to get IP sigs on their scuffy cards that have been in their sweaty hands or pockets all day. They love meeting collectors like Wookie.
And 99.9% of parents buying their kid(s) some footy cards at Coles or the servo ain't gonna know their Authentic Signature card from their common card.
What would be a fair price mint? Then what price or percentage price would a card like that be. Reason im asking is am after these duos but cant justify paying top dollar. Maybe a filler is good enough. Eg i collect records. I bought a $750+ single for $25 as it had an unplayable warp. I was very happy to have that as a filler at that price.
i still think that insert set is one of the nicest looking any company ever made for rugby league. the gold cards and acetates were really sweet aswell...
what a knob, I m glad I kept at least 30 of these, with all these high listings, retirement is coming quicker, I would hate to see what they put on a high end card.
