Crazy, I didn't know they were selling for this much.
Time to go digging through my shoe boxes of extra 2014 Bowman Draft paper, chrome & refractors cards. Earlier this year I did the same with my 2013 Bowman Draft extras and found a few chrome & refractor Judge cards. This is why you never toss or throw up all the duplicate cards in a lot on e-bay after ripping your cases of Bowman. Could be some hidden gems a few years down the line.
I didn't know they were going for quite this much either but I had assumed they would be selling like hot cakes after hitting 11 home runs in his first 64 at-bats.
Nothing better to do at the moment because of the flooding here, so I will do the same. Let me know what you come up with.
Yeah, I heard it's been real bad out there with the flooding. Has it started to lighten up or is it especially bad near where you live?
Has your kid been enjoying the days off from school or has he just been freaked out by the weather?
I'll let you know if I find anything. When Pomeranz is done pitching (I try to watch the starts from pitchers in my fantasy league when I get the chance) I'll go rummaging through my stuff. Definitely a nice find with the refractor!
It has lightened up compared to the last couple of days but it is still raining. We have been very fortunate as our street has not flooded and we have not been without power. Not sure if you have seen photos of Buffalo Bayou and downtown but we are two blocks west of downtown and two blocks south of the bayou. I have two kids, one girl about to enter 5th grade and a boy about to enter the 2nd grade. They both were supposed to start on Monday but school has been canceled for the week. The Emergency Alert system has been continuously going off for flash floods, thunderstorms and tornadoes for days now. So that has made them a bit nervous but watching the news they realize how much worse it could be for them.

I hate this debate. It's just way simpler to do things the way they were done in the first 100 years of the hobby so you don't have all these artificial rules and loopholes. Rhys Hoskins's RCs were in 2014.
Incorrect. Rookie cards are the first year a player appears in a major league set, the same way it's always been.

Would you consider this a Rookie Card? Even though it says Rookie Card on it?
2001 Bowman Chrome Victor Hall?
Victor Hall never played an inning in the MLB. He spent all 10 years of career in the minors. How can one have a Rookie Card without ever actually being a MLB Rookie?
Until 2006, the year of the Rookie rules (implemented by MLBPA's Judy Heeter, who admittedly knew absolutely nothing about baseball cards), the words "rookie card" referred to the card itself, not the player's career. Therefore, being the first card of Diaz, this was considered his rookie card.

Understood, but would you consider it a Rookie Card now considering how the paradigm has shifted?
The same can be said for the 1985 Topps Mark McGwire USA. Lots of debate over XRC versus RC. Most people today now consider his 1987 Topps his Rookie Card and his 1985 Topps a "prospect" or extended rookie card.
