Michael Vick Cards taking a beating!

[Mike]

I was searching Ebay and was curious to see if Michael Vick cards were taking a beating due to his Dog Fighting Scandal. I first looked for the holy grail of Vick cards, the 2001 SP Authentic Patch. I couldn't find a single one up for auction! I think people are too scared to sell it since it has always been listed around $1,500. The last on sold for $580 on 22 July. A far cry from $1,500!

Another eye opener, was this 2001 Fleer EX Auto that was listed as a BIN with a best offer option. The card was marked down 15% from $199 to to $169.99. It sold from a best offer of $116 and books at $300! Talk about unloading!

You can take a look at all of the recent Vick autograph sales and see for yourself.

I have a feeling many will take a gamble and try to buy Vick cards are cheap prices compared to just a few months ago. My suggest is to avoid Michael Vick cards for the rest of 2007 as Michael Vick cards have a long way to go down in my opinion!

Good advice Mike!

I think character is becoming all the more important in the NFL (and thus in card collecting values)... and I'm glad!!!

I will be sure to pick one up for my "Criminal Collection". An autograph of Vick will look nicely next to my Ray Carruth auto.
