I'll be honest. I completely missed out on the Derek Jeter card cycle while he was playing. Loved watching Captain Cool play, but was out of the card game. With that said, I wanted to look into his earlier stuff and there are gems to be had in the Jeter universe.
Love this card for multiple reasons. It's his rookie card and is attainable selling raw for around $15, Finding a 10 in a raw-to-grade play will be tricky so make sure it passes the eye test as there are only 928 - 10's but plenty of 9's! You don't have a long runway for profit either. 10's will fetch $525ish and 9's drop to $48 so you'll teeter on the break-even point depending on how much you spent on the raw card.
I'm big on Metal cards and this Jeter is no exception. Scoop it raw for $5 and send to PSA (or your favorite grading service). 10's are tough but 9's are selling for just under $100 so you can make some money.
Finally, another rookie with big upside in a raw-to-grade flip play. Raw, this card is selling for $32+. As is the case with the other Jeter's, 9's seem to be the call to order. If you happen into a 10, you'll see just under $2,000 with a pop of 448. There are over 5,000 PSA 9's in existence which will go for just over $100.
