Which of these would you want to own the Most?

[Jmarchand1981]

So I have been in a rut this year. I hadn't spent anything on cards except for a grading submission earlier in the year.

My wife got me a box of 19-20 Credentials for Father's Day and I kind of got sucked back in.

I am looking to pick a different direction though.

Here is my question because I don't know the difference between the three.

Which of the following three cards would you rather own.

1- Ice Premiere Rookie /99
2- SP Authentic Acetate YG
3- Upper Deck Cleat Cut Rookie

I am having a ***** of a time delineating between the three, so that is my first problem.

Which of these are normally worth the most? Which are the easiest to come by?

I would love others thoughts and opinions on these three cards.

Ice Premiere /99

I feel like Acetate is just too much. They are not true rookies. I feel as if Upper Deck is just creating more ways for people to buy their crap. If the acetate continues I feel as if the prices will drop as the allure will drop.

And.. if everything I feel is wrong they're not true rookies anyways. A graded 9.5 of Ice Premiere /99 will ALWAYS sell for more than any acetate parallel 9.5. Even if some of these Acetate are limited to 10 or 20 or whatever they should still sell less than an Ice Premiere /99.

None. Young Guns or regular non retro, non inscribed SPA Future Watch autos are my favorite.

You mean, UD is adding value to their product? How's that a bad thing? As far as I can tell, everyone loves the acetate YG. Why wouldn't we want them??

Still, I voted for Ice 99. An acetate YG is nice, but if you had a regular YG and Ice /99 you'd have a better variety rather than 2 of the same card, just in plastic instead of paper

If I had to pick from the three it would be the Ice #/99. It's a true rookie and has been around long enough to be considered a top five staple RC in my opinion.

Exactly, if I HAD to choose. But really I wouldn't choose any of those, YG and SPA FW for rookies, done and done.

Given the price point of the cards in the poll, I feel like it's clear SPA FW should be a no brainer. It's cheaper and it comes with a hard signed autograph. Now assuming OP has an SPA FW, then yeah I'd take the ICE since it's the only true rookie.

Ice 99 pure and simple answer.

Lock it in!

 

[Jmarchand1981]

You guys are awesome! Thank you fir the opinions. I have an ice coming my way. I was going to pick up a YG soon and now I will add the FWA.

 

[creasecollector]

Ice /99.

Ice /99 rookie for me. It is a true rookie and short printed.

If the top 3 are arguably Young Guns, SPA Future Watch and The Cup, and then Ice is considered a top 5 staple, what else belongs? I'm drawing a blank right now!

Ultimate?

I would have said premier if the RPAs were still the true rookies.
