Buyers Rating and Investment Outlook
Jason Kidd was one hell of a player and had a stellar NBA career.
Many forget he beat LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in 2011 to win his only NBA Championship ring with the Dallas Mavericks.
The worth of his rookie cards is held back by his less-than-gaudy points-per-game scoring numbers and the fact he only has one ring.
The sad fact of the matter is a player who scores a ton of points (i.e., James Harden) usually gets more love vs a player who makes his team better via assists, rebounds, and floor leadership.
J-Kidd rookie cards will increase in value long term but not enough to make us buyers.
