There’s a good case to be made that Tiger Woods is a good long-term investment. If you want to bet on him making a comeback, there are a couple of undervalued assets over on Collectable that you may want to look into.
Tom Brady 2000 Bowman Chrome BGS 10
About the asset
This is a BGS 10 graded 2000 Bowman Chrome Tom Brady card. Of 3,547 cards submitted to BGS, 102 have received a 10 with two earning 10 Black. There are an additional 3,442 of these with PSA (1,081 received a PSA 10), and potentially more with other grading services.
Note, this is *not* the refractor card, which is significantly rarer. I point that out, because of these three quotes from the Collectable write up:
- “one of the most important and iconic modern era productions”
- “a world-class commodity which should be heavily pursued by every investor”
- “there are few modern issues which hold the lure and desirability of the coveted 2000 Bowman Chrome Refractor Brady rookie.”
All three refer to the Refractor version of the card, not the base version. Link the the first quote, the second, and third.
There was another similar quote that I couldn’t find the source for.
They also say there are 108 BGS 10s, but Beckett only shows 102. They do show the correct figure later in the write up. Not sure what’s going on with this one ????♂️.
