I can't believe how much Riley Greene stuff is going for on ebay right now. Thought about trying to collect PSA 10 auto cards of the Tigers top prospects (Mize, Greene, Manning and Skubal) but Greene, who is probably the 3rd of 4th best prospect of that group, stuff is going for way more than the other 3. You can get a Casey Mize PSA 10 rookie auto Bowman for basically the same price as buying an ungraded Riley Greene one. One of Riley Greene ungraded orange bowman autos (/25) just sold for $2650.
Yea, seen as low as 13 and as high as 25 for the base Skubal. Bet once his autograph cards start hitting market they will be high too
Blows my mind people would spend that much money on a guy who is a teams 3rd or 4th best prospect and maybe 30th or so best in baseball or lower depending on who ranks them who has never played above low A ball. Bust rate in baseball for guys like that is so high, and even if he pans out as a solid pro, is the market really going to rise where people going to pay more than $3k for a rookie card of his.
No , I mean everyone wants the next trout. Look at Ketel Marte. Legit young all star. You can snag his 1st bowman auto for $40. I have about 10
This is the route I've started to move towards, buying Auto's, Relics, and rookies. Find that next big star before he makes it. I'm not too worried though I ordered one of those Tops Project 2020 Trout cards and I'm pretty sure it's going to be the 1 of 1 Gold edition.
Just won an ebay auction for a PSA 10 Casey Mize Bowman Chrome Auto for $177. Feel much better about that price than a similar Greene card at his prices. Last time the Tigers had a bunch of good prospects I did a similar buying spree, although I was much poorer so they were ungraded ones. I have Maybin, Miller, Zumaya and Verlander signed rookies. The Verlander one was a hit, it's increase in value outweighs the loss I had in the other 3. Although ungraded it wasn't too bad anyway. Upping the stakes now with the PSA 10s, although I will probably need to go ungraded if I ever decide to get a Greene
Poor Nick Quintana, his autograph devalues a card by over $130 On ebay right now Riley Greene 2019 Bowman chrome auto $167.50 with 36 minutes left Riley Greene and Nick Quintana dual signed 2019 Bowman chrome $33 with 35 minutes left
Something is very fishy about this card market, very fishy. Feb 2020: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-19-SP...643097?hash=item3fdcb2c559:g:d-4AAOSwzQFeVFPN May 2020: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MIKE-BOSSY...008954?hash=item5234413cfa:g:gVsAAOSwGIZeqJoV
Too late haha You are right, I have been looking at a lot of sold cards this past weekend on ebay to get a guage of the market to buy some new stuff and to price some old stuff I want to sell and noticed prices quite a bit higher than they were even two to three months ago. However I have not seen anything that crazy.
And tonight hit a redemption card for a 2020 Topps Tribute Iconic Perspective Ozzie Albies 2020 auto /25. Between the Acuna auto and this one, think I my be done with breaks for a while.
Damn dude! Who have you been breaking through? There’s a tribute case breaking this week I’m contemplating grabbing a non Royals team on. Have to see if this Witt sells for me though.
If anyone is looking to get some Bowman First edition, they're pretty pricey but you can get 5 packs for 160 broke on Houdini's channel if you want. Jasson base is going for like 275 I think, the Witt going for like 50
My local card shop seems to have quite a bit in stock and still online discounted. Don’t know if they’re worth a shit anymore since lil man stopped collecting
About a 1% chance that card gets paid for. The market is wild right now but not 'that' wild. As others have said, buying prospect cards in bulk is a bad route to go. Sure, grab some cards of your teams' top prospects to have for your PC, but never go heavy on someone who hasn't made it to the bigs. There will always be buying opportunities later on. Hell, even someone as touted as Acuna, who was very productive in his first year, didn't really see his cards take off until the end of the 2019 season and the offseason. If you had bought up his stuff before last year or even during the year you'd be doing quite well. There is also something to be said for guys that don't hit the ground running in their career. They get overlooked because everyone has already moved onto the next big thing. Ketel Marte, for example, had an incredible year last year but the train has left the station for his hobby because he looked the part of utility guy for too long. If someone like Buxton were to go out and hit 25 HR and steal 50 bags (living up to what people thought he'd be), he still probably wouldn't see his hobby return to what it was when he was a prospect because it didn't happen quick enough for collectors. They've moved onto Acuna, Soto, Tatis, etc. and the other new 'shiny' toys.
That first card is buy it now too and second auction. First may be just someone who underpriced their card in buy it now. Unsure how other similar cards have gone to see which is closer to market
What are some other websites to buy packs and boxes from without getting ripped off. I’ve bought some on eBay so far jw what else is out there
I've bought off of blowout cards and dave and adams card world and had no issues. Blowout also has a forum which can have some cool info and breaks.
This is my local shop and they’re pretty solid. Decent stock most times and not crazy prices from what I can tell http://thebaseballcardking.com/#3024
It's a $20 card, others have sold near that last year. It's an 80's hockey player, there's no prospect upside.
I listed a bunch of BIN star NBA autographs with a block on my Paypal accepting international payments and now China is ready to wage war. When people say the NBA is big in China they weren't kidding. I'm tempted to reply to some of these messages with, "Taiwan #1!".
This is the driving force behind why basketball cards are so expensive compared to football or baseball. The Asian market influence is huge.
Pulled the trigger tonight on 10 different blaster/hobby boxes for me and the kid to rip. Got some bowman chrome, Gypsy queen, and panini prestige football and a few other randoms. Hopefully we will have his binders set up this weekend and start to get everything organized.
My mini Detroit prospect shopping spree is done (for now) spent about $300 and think I got some good deals with a chance to hit on one or two. Half that $300 ($177) was used on a rookie Bowman Chrome auto PSA 10 Casey Mize. Only got an OK deal on it, but it was in line with what they are selling for Another $50 went to a Matt Manning rookie bowman chrome auto PSA 10. Found it on buy it now for that. Last few that went up for auction have gone over $60 so I was glad and think that's a great deal. A few places consider Manning a better prospect than Mize so I am happy with this one. Similarly bought a PSA 10 young guns Dylan Larkin for $30 buy it now, which sell for more so I grabbed one. Also grabbed an Anthony Mantha PSA 10 for $27. Finally, I couldn't breakdown to buy Riley Greene Bowman auto considering they are going for $200+ ungraded. That's way too much. So I took a chance on a Leaf autograph parallel /50 for $15. Less of a potential future payday but low risk at that price
I got a few things off eBay and then Dave and Adams card world. Ended up spending around 300 bucks but hopefully we get some good things. Should satisfy the urge to rip for awhile.
Me last week. Justified that buying 5 packs for $15 isn’t too bad, all things considered. Received and broke them all My brain the other night: “3 packs for $99 doesn’t seem like a bad deal”
Are you talking about Bowmans first edition? I almost bought 5 packs for $145, luckily I talked myself out of that one. Kept telling myself one of them will hit a Jasson Dominguez but common sense finally prevailed.
Yessir. Houdini was breaking 3/$100 on his channel the other night and for like 2 min thought about it.
I’ve found my new tactic, raise everyone’s bids way up there the back out. Make everyone run out of money and over pay the the market will come back in a few months and we reap the rewards.
Then if I get stuck with something I don't want, just don't pay. Create a new account if you need to. Win win imo
They key is bid them up like 4 days out. Otherwise everyone sits on it till the last 3 minutes. This way those last few bids people way overpay. Otherwise yes say you don’t it and start fresh
Are Bowman 1st edition cards worth the price for packs? I saw the card shop near me is doing curb side pickup and is advertising on FB having bowman 1st editions for sale
I haven't looked for those color specifically but he is one I'm working on right now too, we are sort of into Auto's and relics right now.
Seeing the latest psa subs come back has me nervous. People getting hammered, mine should pop here any day
