Good Buys Thread

sheetskout · Oct 16, 2012

I wanted to start a thread only visible in the Prospector's forum for our eyes only as to everyone's thoughts on good flips both short-term and long-term. If you don't think this thread is worth it or are more apt not to share tell me now and I'll delete it.

Please don't mention this thread outside of here. That goes for any thread in this forum, but I thought we could create a more "insider" discussion on why you think certain guys are good buy/sell candidates.

I'm not really sure where to start myself. I was buying up Baez and Rendon's, but they're getting a little to pricey for the risk. From there I started re-buying Braun chrome autos as long-term investments as the prices have come down. You can get base autos for around 85.00 now. Again, this is more long-term.

Not really sure at this point who I am excited about.

Anyone else?

I haven't been around in awhile, but wanted to chime in. I'm not really buying much right now, but one guy I think is great is Domonic Brown. I'm sure everyone has seen the good and bad write-ups on him, but I was even more impressed this season when he came up. I loved the way he was making contact and not striking out. His power decreased, but I feel it will come back.

Two other guys I saw in person a few times and like were Cody Asche and Adam Morgan. Asche might never be a huge hobby hit, but I think he's going to be in the major leagues for a long time and if he gets hot, he might be good flip. Phillies fans are desperate for a third-baseman so his cards could skyrocket.

I really like Morgan and think he is a big time sleeper. Spots his fastball well, and sits in the low 90's. His change-up I really liked. I don't know what scouts grade it at but I personally would put a 65-70. Great deception, late movement and about 10 MPH's slower. Maybe the day I saw him was fluke, but I really liked it.

Any thoughts on Mazara and Guzman as investments coming out of Chrome 12?

LazerShow15 · Oct 17, 2012

Mazara is one of my guys too from 2012 Bowman Chrome.

sheetskout · Oct 18, 2012

I read in a scouting report on Mazara. It stated that during short-season ball Mazara would routinely stand out in warmups next to Guzman, Gallo and other young promising players in the Rangers system. For what it's worth.

The Guerrieri Super Auto has returned to eBay - it sold for over $700 the first time. Now has a $2500 BIN/BO.

Really wish I could have afforded it before, because I definitely can't now.

Still some room to grow probably.

I've got another one. I've been noticing Javier Baez Sterling Autos for under 10.00. Thoughts?

Nice price for the secondary buyer when he blows up...

So at under 10 dollars, i probably picked up 50 or so of them.

Here's where they are this off-season...

Sterling if you play it right, just like EEE, is the gift that keep giving. Still think it will be 35+ if he gets hot.

Did anyone else get in?

CatdaddysCards · Jan 9, 2014

I regret not getting in on Baez. Got in well on Guerrieri though. Hoping that one pays off like I think it will. Bought in on the cheap for everyone.

On a side note. Is this a mod only forum? Never saw it until Chris promoted me last week.

Rule 1: You do NOT speak of the Prospecting Forum outside of here. This forum is for a select group of prospectors/mods and you must be chosen for admittance.

Welcome to the club.

You need not be concerned with that. I don't speak of prospects much, in public. The reason is because I tend to shy away from the names everyone is talking and find guys that no one is discussing at all. Then I follow them and grab a few cards before everyone figures out who they are. I only buy in on the elite guys when I run across some ******* selling cheap or trading them at Beckett value.

Appreciate the welcome. I've been out of the hobby side of prospecting for a couple years. Still follow them closely for our farm systems in a couple of large, dynasty leagues I play

Secret is safe with me fellas.
