Trading Card Investment Tip Farscape Cards

I publish a guide on collecting non-sport autographed cards. As a result of collecting e-Bay auction price data, certain trends in prices come to my attention more quickly than might be the case for people who do not follow the prices on a daily basis. In my guide I give information on how to pick a card that is likely to increase in value. Based on those guidelines I have found some cards that show good promise. I do not make buying recommendations, I just point out some cards that have come to my attention and indicate the reasons why I believe they will increase in value. I will leave it to you to judge for yourself if my reasoning is correct.

Obtaining any of the listed card at our below the price shown here should be a very good investment. You can still find these cards listed on e-bay at or below these prices. Not a lot of Farscape cards are professionally graded but try to buy professionally graded cards if you can.

Scifi Channel sold merchandise for a short while in 1999-2000, and one of the items from the Farscape Collection was a set of 6 cards where one was signed by either Virginia Hey, Claudia Black or Gigi Edgley. The hand signed ink autographs were signed across the face of the cards. The same cards also have those without the autograph as well as SF1, SF3, and SF5 which do not have autographs. These are rare since only 500 were produced. I do not think all of them were sold because they are very rarely seen in e-Bay auctions. I would estimate that there are no more than 100 of these cards. In fact I think these are the rarest of the Farscape cards. Very nice cards indeed. This is an excellent set of cards for the investor. Claudia Black also has an autograph card for The Chronicles of Riddick. Virginia Hey has a signed card as the Bond Girl Rubavitch in the Living Daylights in the 40th Anniversary James Bond 007 card set.
