Cards that define the market
Where collectors get it wrong
The résumé creates respect, not broad liquidity; buy Dantley only when the rookie copy and entry price both work. Before using a Adrian Dantley result as a comp, verify the exact product, parallel, serial number, grade, autograph and memorabilia wording, and sale type. A headline result such as Adrian Dantley 1977 Rookie Topps Basketball Card #56 PSA 10 *HIGH-END CENTERED* documents the trophy ceiling, but it does not automatically establish repeatable value for a different card or a weaker copy.
