1993 SP Baseball Forum

Looking for opinions... I bought a lot of cards and to my surprise it had 1993 SP cards. Go figure, after all said and done, every card except for....Derek Jeter rookie. I am looking around and obviously, it is an expensive card. Is it worth trying to get him to complete the set or should I just part out the cards??? 

Go for it, Jason. I don't have that particular card, but the Jeter RCs that I have were all easily attained. Of course that was pre-covid hobby economy.

Until a few months I was on the hunt for this set. I had it in days gone by and sold it off with my entire collection (2001ish). When I came back in (2017) I wanted this set again. Pre-pandemic I wasn't willing to spend the $$$ for it. Pandemic pricing, no way. HOWEVER...... while scouring around one day I found a listing that was way below what it's been normally going and all cards were raw (nothing graded for me thank you very much). The write-up was pretty scary sounding (for an investor), but the scans looked decent enough. I won the auction for WAY under what the Jeter alone would go for. I got the set apprehensive Jeter may have some hidden flaws. Nope. May not be a "10" but was sweet looking still.

Takeaway is this, finish it (it is a nice set), but do so with patience. You may come across a Jeter that hits your wickets without the inflated pricing attached.   

Love finding hidden gems like this, it's all about the patience.

I've been on the hunt for a 2016 High Gloss /10 CFL card for a while, the only one I could find was $79.45 on comc. Just last week I found one on eBay for $16.99. That being said, there's currently a PSA 6 Jeter that ends in 3 1/2 days on eBay for a (so far) decent price.
