Well for the most part it depends on if "you" feel it is a fair trade. Even the cheap Brady rookies book for 15 or so.

RE: trade advice
How much do the rookies book for combined? What brand are they? Would you be happy if the Bradys were in your collection? Gronk is easy to come by and may not work out-who knows. Brady is proven...
If it were me and the rookies were all different, I'd take the Bradys

Yeah Brady over Gronk easy. With all the sets now days with all the different variations to pick up a nice Gronk would seem to be an easier pickup if you really want one.

I agree
It's easier and less expensive to pick up a new Gronk. Plus, just my autograph snob opinion, Gronkowski's sigs are always out of the box or off the sticker! So I like to pick up on card autos from him, or pick one up with the whole sig on it.

RE: trade advice
Easy choice. Take the Bradys. If you're in this hobby for the long haul you'll likely be able to get that card back or one like it for $5-10 in 5 years or less. Not true for Brady RCs. And if you're not in this hobby for the long haul, well then you're still better off with the Bradys. Just my 2c...

RE: trade advice
alright a quick update, (and btw thank you for the picture Kelly) but the rookies have changed a little bit. they now are Upper Deck, Quantum Leaf, and Leaf Metal. I think he will probably accept that, but we will see. either way, I would be happy.
