Investment Rating: 7.5
Overview
Dennis Rodman is a lot of things, but he remains a popular option for basketball collectors based on his productive NBA career. His eccentric personality and questionable decisions, along with his role on the Chicago Bulls, have resulted in increased exposure and a huge market for Dennis Rodman cards and memorabilia.
Although he was taken in the 1986 NBA Draft, Rodman did not grace his first card until 1988-89 Fleer. After that rookie card, Rodman would go on to be featured on many cards over the years and is a regular signer for current products. Dennis Rodman was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011 and that gave his signed memorabilia market a boost. Rodman is regular at autograph signings and his signed gear is readily available.

1988-89 Fleer Dennis Rodman RC #43
The only Dennis Rodman rookie card is found in 1988-89 Fleer. The low-key design and virtually unrecognizable image of a young Dennis Rodman both give the card a dated feel. Centering issues are a huge problem with this card, but even centered versions won't break the bank.
1988-89 Panini Stickers Spanish Dennis Rodman #97,101
Although not generally viewed as a rookie card, Panini issued two Dennis Rodman sticker cards in their Spanish set that covered the 1988-89 season. The small cards check in at 2" x 2-5/8" and the card back is written entirely in Spanish.
