Future Watch Autos are probably the most sought after rookie autos in hockey given that they're serial numbered and come in a fairly affordable product (SP Authentic). I don't have a lot of luck with SPA so I don't buy it a whole lot.
Cup is sought after but definitely not in most people's ranges unless they're willing to drop $500+ on seven or eight cards
It's one product I've never opened and probably never will. Just can't justify it
I don’t know most cards at all but I thought the cup was too dog for hockey. Since he mentioned a name I thought that may be too dog for baseball.

You're not wrong that The Cup is sought after. Hell, McDavid's rookie patch auto from 15-16 Cup sold for $135,000 this summer. But it's a pipedream for your average collector at its outrageous cost point.
SP Authentic is relatively cheap (usually about $120-130 a box when it comes out and the Future Watch Autographs are serial numbered an on card (not sticker autographs), so that product and subset are pretty popular with hockey collectors. I'm not a big fan of Authentic myself because I've never had much success with it, but I assume it's along the lines of what he's looking for. (I hardly know anything about baseball, let alone baseball cards)
Thanks for the reply! Watched all of the videos you have on your YouTube channel between last night and today. Enjoyed it.

I think I bought a box of SPA a few years back. The best pull was a redemption for Trevor linden. The luck of the draw! Nice product though.You're not wrong that The Cup is sought after.

I looked up the McDavid on Ebay. It's sold for about $250 on average it seems. But I've been chasing him for so long that it's mine now
I've been paying very close attention to it since July. Ended up offloading almost all my childhood collection. Basically the cards that collectors want are rookie cards of current or future hall of famers. Or limited numbered cards like refractors, autographs or jersey cards. Young guys to invest in would be Doncic and Giannis. They will be the face of the league for a decade. I wouldn't waste time buying and ripping open packs. Any other questions such as current market prices or anything let me know.
In general or are you looking at a specific one? I was a big fan of him coming out, his talent far exceeds his draft position. Depending on price that could be a good long term play. He's probably going to be 3rd string to begin this season.
Which rookie card type has the most value? Which brand?
Topps, upper deck, and fleer back in the day. These days Panini is king. They are the only company with an NBA license, they release sets of all different names such as impeccable, immaculate, flawless, national treasures, optic, prizm, etc.
