When will we see some TRUE Riley Greene rookie cards?
As you know, the cards featured here are technically “prospect cards”. However, they’re usually the most sought after cards even after the ones with the RC label are released. That said, the true rookie cards shouldn’t be too far off. Many folks believe Greene will debut at some point in 2022. Therefore, we should start to see some RC labeled Riley Greene rookie cards before the end of the year as long as an injury doesn’t slow his call up.
Riley Green Rookie Card Forecast
As we just said, Greene should debut in 2022 so he’ll be one of the most collected prospects heading into the season. Look for prices to rise as we near opening day (whenever that may be) and level off as we await the inevitable call up. Once that happens, the market will shirt from being driven on speculation alone. An immediate impact in his rookie season should send your cad to new heights. Especially if that ends in a Rookie of the Year award. Meanwhile, lackluster production could mean a pull back in value. Overall we’re bullish in both the short term and over the next few years.
