Josh Allen Rookie card sold for $264, 000, value is now at $312,000

Man, card collecting sure has changed since I was a kid in the 80's buying Topps, ProSet and Upper Deck. Holy smokes!! Crazy thing is all the cards I still have are probably pretty worthless, unfortunately. 😩

I am digging through my cards.....nothing

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

I have two and will offer both to someone here for $263,000.

 

2 for 1  any takers!

So, it sold for what a pack of cards cost these days?

You can probably purchase a Sam Darnold rookie card. They are probably selling for $2.64

Yeah… inflation is a B word.

You don't want to know.   Covid has inflated the market like crazy, especially basketball

So my son had a rookie card for Dominic Hasek.  Took it to the arena and had it autographed. Later found out than ruined the value of it. I guess the issue was there was no way to validate it being his actual signature upon resale

You can send it to an authentication house.  They send you a certificate and the card ends up having more value.

Since the pandemic, sports cards have gone crazy. I have done quite well myself, not 264K well but still enough for a nice little future for myself and son down the road.

I have a nice Rob Johnson card if you’re interested!

I want to sell my house to buy this card.  Then I will be famous for being the idiot who sold his house for a card.  All publicity is good publicity right?

 

Maybe with some chop sticks you can make a VERY tiny little house of it, but keep it well wrapped. 

 

Remember, you need to keep it well wrapped. That may save you more than the stupid card. If…..you know what I mean.

Dear authentication house:

     Thank you for the certificate confirming my card's worth.  I do believe you forgot to return the card, however...🙁

I tried selling my cards from the mid to late 80s, can barely get a few dollars for them. Guess the times have changed

Someone aware me on rookie cards.  Are they valuable because scarcity? A particular brand? Condition?

[Wyobills89]

I bought a allen rookie card 2 years ago for 10 bucks. To bad I don't think it's the lottery winner.

Pretty much all of those things. I think this was out of 5 printed, and I’m guessing in mint condition.

That kind of money on a card made a few years ago is ridiculous.

 

I can see spending that kind of money on some nearly non-existent historical gem from 1905 or something...

 

But a Josh Allen rookie?  For that money? 

 

This is apparently still the most expensive card of all time, at $5.2 million.

 

$5.2 million for this too?!

That's great. Everyone knew Allen was good but I think Sunday opened everyone's eyes to how great he can be. I bet his jersey will be one of the top selling jersey's going forward.

It was the leagues best seller going into this past season already. Kid is a stud. So thankful I get to watch him through my 30s
