5 Australian Sports Cards You Can Afford to Invest in RIGHT NOW!

When we see other hobby enthusiasts displaying their collections, new pick-ups, or expensive cards, it's easy to feel like their collections are superior to ours. You see them showing off Draft Pick Signature Rookie Cards with high grades and think, "Man, I wish I could get something like that!"

But remember, some of these cards come to collectors by chance—through luck of the draw, trades, or swaps. That’s why it’s crucial to focus on cards you genuinely like or want to invest in.

Often, cards can be acquired fairly cheaply and graded to increase their value over a relatively short period. With that in mind, I’ve put together a list of 5 cards that can be attained at reasonable prices and are excellent options for long-term investment or adding value to your personal collection (PC).

 

1. 2010 Select Prestige Dustin Martin Rookie Card
