Prospectors: Who did you get rid of to early/late?

waintrain · Dec 22, 2012

I wouldn't consider myself a prospector, but I bust wax and keep the prospects. My question is who did you sell off too early, or too late.

Too Late:
2011 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor AU JD Martinez /50 (Still have it) - I remember when this was a $150 card. last one went for $22 BIN

2010 Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor Jerry Sands /150 (Still have it) - Could have gotten $50 at one time.

Too Early:
2010 Bowman Platinum Green Refractor AU Mike Trout /199 - Traded it for a few Cardinal HOF Autos back when he was still in the minors.

Too late:
Jason Place 06 BDP gold ref. It once was a $200 card. I still have it.

The only too early case I can think of is Matt Kemp. Still made some profit but could have more than tripled my money.

Too late:
Still have a few Jesus Montero autos lying around

Too early:
Sold some Trout waaayyy too early (like one base chrome, 3 sterlings, and 2 platinums)
Sold 3 Mike Stanton ref autos for like 40 a pop several years ago
Have sold about half of my Syndergaard stuff already, but for how cheap I was in on it I'm not too worried

Me too, Troy. I made good money on Bundy but would have made a KILLING had I waited an extra month.

CatdaddysCards · Dec 22, 2012

Way too many to list.

TBTwinsFan · Dec 22, 2012

My only example are (and they aren't much, I know):

Jerry Sands: Too late

Anthony Bass: Too late

Yeah. I remember your stash. We both would've made a killing. I think I had like 15 base autos, 2 or 3 ref autos, 2 blue ref autos one being a 9.5 and a few 9.5 base and refractors. Oh well we both still did good

Too Early: Jason Heyward.

Too Late: Max Stassi (Oy vey - was there ever a good time to sell? What was I thinking? An Oakland A's catcher? ).

Trout. Still made decent money.. but how often does that frenzy hit on a player?

Sjrmn91 · Dec 23, 2012

Too early- Hosmer. Sold a BC auto redemption for $140. Few months later they were going for $500+

Jedi500 · Dec 23, 2012

Too Early: Chris Sale

Too Late: Dustin Ackley

Ooof. Good call on Chris Sale. Another one I bailed on too soon.

I sold a Jason Heyward orange refractor auto for $600. Then he blew up in ST and hit a HR in his first at bat shortly thereafter and it was a $2500 card for a minute.

Sold a 2010 Bowman Platinum Mike Trout Autograph for I believe 34 dollars......sigh

Also sold an Archie Bradley Blue Ref Auto for around 70 dollars. Three weeks later I think they around 130-140ish. Both pulls were from retail so that was pretty cool.

I too sold early on trout. 09 sterling when they hit $40 and 11Fineat when they hit $30. Ouch.
