Since the launch of BaseballCardChase.com, we’ve been monitoring which baseball cards collectors have been most interested in. The results show that collectible baseball cards have a broad selection of collectors in the hobby.
Leading the pack are mostly recent and active baseball superstars. From Derek Jeter, to Barry Bonds to Ken Griffey Jr. Essentially, the same stars you see in the ESPN SportsCenter highlights are the most sought after by collectors.
Looking at the baseball player search results, prices for the current baseball player cards are also more affordable when compared to the next catagory, Hall of Famers.
There were a number of Baseball Hall of Famer Cards that were popular searches. We’re not sure if the searches were for actual buyers, of if people just enjoy window shopping at some of the extreme ends of baseball card collecting.
For example, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson, ranked high on the baseball card search list. Looking at the results for these cards, the prices ranged from recent reprints costing less than $5. However, some of the auctions were for originals going for hundreds or more.
