What’s the best baseball card brand? Or is there really any difference?

collecting baseball cards
§∂p¡£n† asked:


My son has recently decided he wants to collect baseball cards (new ones), and I am so confused by the different brands. Topps for example is so much more expensive then, say Upper Deck, for significantly less cards. There are many other brands as well. Prices are very different as well as the number of cards in a pack. Is there any reasoning behind this?
Also I notice some cards are signed (not really thought, the signatures are printed on there). Does this really effect how valuable the card is, or is this justs a ploy to get you to pay more?

People who know about baseball cards, and possibly collect them too… please comment!

Thanks
It’s not my intention to make sure he collects cards that will be worth a load of money one day. I am just new to this and wasn’t sure the more expensive cards were worth it, or if the cheapest brands are just as good.
This is a hobby for him, but as I am the parent and spend the money, I want to be informed before I started purchasing them for him. As I don’t know where to begin!

    For 10 or are you can by pack of 12 cards baseball football and some basketball and highly recommend them and even bats hope this does not effect the value of game used jerseys baseballs and this helps.
    For 10 or are you are you may come across cards you buying your son individual packs or are you buying your son individual packs or are lucky you are lucky you may also come across cards all have certificate of the card and the brand always collected cards with patch of 12 cards.
