I don't imagine the RL trading card market fluctuates too much, but if you wanted to cash in how easily would you find someone else willing to pay that 'value'?
I got a bunch of full collections in mint condition with all the specials (a good few signed) from 1994 to about 1999. They hold sentimental value as it was a hobby I shared with my grandfather, but what sort of $ value would that stuff have Matty and who'd pay it?
$899 for 21 footy cards is madness IMO. They could be signed in the blood of the player and Barba's card can even have been used to rack up his GF celebrations, still sporting remnants of Columbia's finest on the edges. Still too much.
Understandable. A offical nrl signature cards in traders and elite fetch around $50 however dependant on the player, number of the card made and how low it is.
With the set itself, you'll be looking at roughly $52-58 per card. So it's actually well priced per single card. Surprising of the 50 sets been made over 80 % have been sold
Not all the players actually have had an offical nrl signature or has one in sharks colours.
Gallen has had plenty. Bird, Holmes, Fifita and feki have two now. Barba and Maloney have one In sharks colours and the top of the head most of the others don't.
when people bid on the signed players jerseys ie: WIL rounds, a signed jersey went for in excess of $1500. This was as memoribilla. Just the same as these cards are memoribila of the team winning the gf. You could get boot leg signed cards off eBay however some of those have been seen to be fakes. So it's a huge gamble
Those cards that you collected with your grand father would be valued to you hugely, on the open market they could be anything.
The card market is a strange one, as I said before dependant on the player, type of card and Rarity, prices can be nuts . Ie: 2012 NRL
Dynasty Black league leader (50 made) for Gallen, started as low as about $200 two years ago and now excess of $450.
