Trading Card Investment Tip Benchwarmer Tanya Ballinger and Kitana Baker 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.

Benchwarmer Tanya Ballinger and Kitana Baker cards

In the Miller Lite catfight commercial for the Superbowl, Kitana was "less filling" and Tanya Ballinger was "tastes great". This add gave both these models a huge amount of publicity and they have not been slow in using their moment of fame to advance their careers. As a result of the increase in their popularity, the price of their cards has gone up sharply. A Kitana Baker Kiss card sold for $230.00 on e-Bay just a few months ago. A Tanya & Kitana Benchwarmer Kiss card sold for $511.00 on March 12, 2004. Tanya Ballinger swatch card sold for $430.00. As is common when one of a person's cards sells at high prices, it tends to drive up the price of all their cards in time. I am seeing this happen now. All Tanya Ballinger and Kitana Baker cards have begun to rise in price and they are getting more bids then just a short time ago. I believe this trend is likely to continue for some time yet so these cards may be good ones to watch.

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 Benchwarmer cards are professionally graded but try to buy professionally graded cards if you can.
