Each year one of the most highly collected and sought after basketball rookie autographed cards are the Panini Next Day Autographs. When these cards first released, Panini had been giving each card serial numbers and limiting production to around 100 copies. Over the past few years, Panini had stopped applying serial numbers and left the production a mystery to everyone. There had been a number of claims of counterfeit versions of some of the more popular rookies being made with forged autographs.

In order to circumvent that, it appears that Panini has decided to stamp each Next Day card this year with a Next Day Autograph logo. Great idea in concept, except when executed like this:

For those of you unfamiliar with the Next Day Autographs from Panini and some of the coin that they bring in, here are is a small glimpse into their lure and value for collectors.

• 2019-20 Zion Williamson sold for $2700
• 2019-20 Ja Morant sold for $850
• 2017-18 De'Aaron Fox sold for $500
• 2018-19 Trae Young sold for $600
• 2018-19 Luka Donic sold for $3000
• 2013-14 Giannis Antetokounmpo sold for $3400

These are just a few of the examples of recent sales from the last 90 days. Some superstars like Steph Curry, John Wall and James Harden also have Next Day Autos that regularly sell for hundreds and thousands of dollars.

While having the embossed stamp on each card can help thwart some potential issues with creating counterfeit cards, when done poorly, it can also dramatically decrease the value and appeal of a card. I am sure that this is not something that Panini takes into considering during the production of a product, however, with all of their recent mishaps and issues with quality control and over production, items like this should be on their short-list of things to avoid in the future.

We are going to be rolling out a new monthly section that takes a look cards that we believe are currently undervalued and primed to make a jump in value over the next few months. Our plan will be to revisit these posts from time-to-time, as well as provide our readers some ideas on the best time to start unloading their cards.

What you aren’t going to find in these posts are us telling you to go out and buy a 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Mike Trout Auto or a 2016 Bowman Chrome Vladimir Guerrero Auto were these cards have already seen a significant price jump and has much larger barriers to entry for the average collector.

I’m hoping to keep most of the suggestions for cards to buy below $5 each, in hopes that our picks can help you easily double (if not more) your money once you decide to sell.

Here are our suggestions for May 2019:

2013 Topps Update Marcell Ozuna RC #US279

You can find the 2013 Topps Update Marcell Ozuna RC #279 for around $2-$3 each right now. Flagship Topps rookie cards have started to climb in overall price and collectibility recently. That mixed with Ozuna’s electric bat and solid fan base are a great mix to see this card climb closer to $6-$8 in the very near future.

2017 Topps Series 2 Hunter Dozier RC #493

Dozier has been flying under the radar to start the 2019 season, and is quietly putting up great numbers batting in the heart of a very good Royals line-up. With these cards sitting under $1 each, you should be able find some in the bargain basement of eBay, your LCS, or other spots. With a solid first-half of the season and some All-Star exposure, they cards have a chance to blow-up.

2017 Topps Update Luis Castillo RC #US139

Being the ace of any team is never a bad title to hold, even if it is the Cincinnati Reds. Castillo has burst into the young 2019 season mowing down batters and keeping runs off the board. It’s not going to take long before people start mentioning his name in early season ballots for Cy Young. Expect to see this cards jump past their current $1-ish mark very soon.

2013 Topps Series 2 Kris Davis RC #360

The hobby loves the long-ball, and Khris Davis loves to hit the the long-ball. So, this seems like a match made in heaven. Hitting 40+ HR in each of the last three years, Davis is on pace to hit 50 this season. A big month with lots of tape-measure-worth homers can send his prices into a frenzy. Expect to see these climb from $2-$3 to around $4-$6 if he is able to keep up his current pace.

2018 Topps Series 1 Victor Robles RC #166

After a disappointing and injury filled 2018 season, Robles has bounced back and found himself in the middle of a great start to the 2019 season. His 2018 Topps Series 1 RC is currently selling for under $1 and as the early favorite for NL Rookie of the Year, these cards have lots of room to climb.

One of the most sought-after rookie cards each year is the National Treasures Rookie Patch Auto.

The countdown is on until Vladimir Guerrero Jr. makes his highly anticipated MLB debut. Collectors have been eagerly awaiting his debut as he has been smashing his way through the minors and steadily gaining more hype every week. Check out this 2016 Bowman Chrome Prospect Orange Shimmer Refractor Auto that has eclipsed $3,100 mark with nearly 30 bids.

While $3,100 may be tough for most of us to drop on a single card, Vlad does have some cheaper 2016 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autos along with a bunch of other non-Chrome and non-Autographed cards to meet everyone’s tastes and budget.
