Not too many think of golf when thinking of sports trading cards, but it’s becoming a huge business. And as with anything golf, Tiger Woods is leading the way. Some of his cards are going for unbelievale prices.
Here are some listing at Naxcom that will give you an idea of how valuable these Tiger Woods cards can be:
Card: 2001 Upper Deck SP Authentic Autograph Player’s Red TW1 Tiger Woods (Autographed – Piece of Authentic Player Worn N Shirt – Serial #D To 273 – Golf Cards)
Listing Price: $3500.00
Card: 2003 Upper Deck Golf Gear Birdie Auto With Dual Swatches TW Tiger Woods (Autographed – Piece of Authentic Dual Golf Shirts – Golf Cards)
Listing Price: $3500.00
Card: 2003 SP Game Used Winning Scorecard Autograph WA-TW Tiger Woods (Autographed – Serial #D To 25 – Golf Cards)
Listing Price: $2500.00
Card: 2001 Upper Deck Tiger Slam 4 Employee NNO Tiger Woods (Piece of Authentic Event Worn Shirt – Serial #D To 307 – Golf Cards)
Listing Price: $1500.00
Even though these cards are listed for thousands of dollars, they are actually good investments. If Tiger Woods can continue to prove himself as the greatest golfer ever, this cards have extremely high resell value.
NBA – Early season stars November 20, 2006

Each year in the NBA, there are players who pop out of nowhere to become stars. This year is no different. Here’s a list of players who could see their cards’ value sky rocket over the course of the season:
1. Kevin Martin – Martin is off to an outstanding start with the Sacramento Kings. He’s a scorer who is showing no signs of slowing down. He has a green light to shoot as much as he wants and isn’t bashful in doing so. Right now, it appears as if he could be an All-Star.
2. Carmelo Anthony – Anthony has taken the next step and is now one of the best players in the game. He can score and this year he’s even passing and rebounding the ball more than ever. He’s catching up to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, and could be a super star in the not to distant future.
3. Deron Williams – With the Jazz off to a fantastic start, Williams is getting a lot of pub. Last year, Chris Paul was getting all the attention. This season, Williams has closed the gap and is looking like an All-Star in the making.
4. Carlos Boozer – Deron Williams’ teammate is having an MVP type season so far. In a stacked Western Conference, he’s playing at perhaps the highest level of any bigman. If Boozer can keep it up, look for the value of his cards to rise dramatically.
5. Dwight Howard – In the Eastern Conference, no bigman is having a season comparable to Howard. Although still very young, Howard is a monster in the paint on both sides of the court. He could very well end up as the next great bigman in the NBA.

Here are some players that you might want to sell high on. They have nowhere to go but down and their cards will soon come crashing back down to earth.
1. Chris Webber – Webber’s days as a force in this league are over. His knees are shot and he’s on a team where he doesn’t get the ball as much as he needs to. Also, his coach is losing confidence in him and Webber is losing confidence in himself.
2. Shaquille O’Neal – Yes, Shaq is coming off of a championship. However, his time as a star in the league is coming to an end. Now is a good time to sell or trade your Shaq cards as the value will perhaps never be any higher.
3. Jason Kidd – While Kidd is still a very good player, he has nowhere to go but down now. He’s going to be in New Jersey for the foreseeable future and they don’t have the personnel to be championship contenders.
4. Amare Stoudemire – Stoudemire was one of the hottest names in the industry not too long ago, but his slow recovery from knee surgery has really hurt his stock. There are rumbling that he may never return to his previous levels. If you believe that, his cards will surely suffer as that become more obvious.
5. Ben Wallace – The biggest story of the offseason was Wallace signing with the Bulls. However, at this point the move looks like a bust. Wallace is pouting and Chicago is losing. If it doesn’t turn around soon, Wallace’s value will fall off.
