1. Tim Collins 2009 Bowman Chrome Rookies
Comments: An ordinary name, an ordinary looking guy, a less than ordinary higher and an extraordinary story. Read more here and you’ll find out why Tim occupies the number one spot on the list this week. Sure, he’s just a reliever but he’s 5’6″ and throws 94…as a result, his Xfractors popped from $8 to $31 this week and J.P. Riccardi has to feel like he was right when he paid $100,000 for Tim to sign.
1. Muhammad Ali Leaf Fight Worn Patch Auto 1/1
Comments: We have made no bones about the fact that you make this hot list when you trend prices upward week over week. That being said, sometimes new cards roll onto the market and instead making a diver’s splash, they are more like Chris Farley doing a cannonball. That’s exactly what Leaf’s Muhammad Ali Fight Worn Patch 1/1 Autos have done. The first several have sold for over $1k and I think most expect them to sustain at that price.
1. Sandy Koufax
2011 Topps Heritage Real One Auto
Comments: You may have heard of the big hit “Only One” by Rihanna. Well, this week, “Real One” by Sandy Koufax was released and it is vaulting to the top of the charts. With days left to go these autographs are already at $400+. It is unusual for us to put a card on this list that does not have a closed auction yet, nor any history but these cards are en fuego.
