Like myself, there a lot of basketball card collectors out there. In this article I will be listing the top ten NBA players to start collecting now.
Now we know that rookie cards go up and down in value depending on the scarcity of the card and the popularity and performance of the player. so, there is never a sure thing. Unless they are well established players like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, etc.
For now, I will be listing active players and the year their rookie cards came out in production.
