He's the single-season strikeout king. 204 Ks last year.

Not much of a following. I picked up the 2 cards on the left in '07 for about $18 combined.

This kind of assumption irks me a little, as an Adam Dunn fan. Dunn has a career .383 OBP (20th among active players, ahead of: Ortiz, Ichiro, Texeria, and Utley) and a .248 career average.
Mark Reynolds has a .257 career batting average and a .330 career OBP, which barely ranks him ahead of an average replacement player.
Adam Dunn does strike out a lot and hit a ton of home runs, but at the plate that is where the comparison ends. Dunn is infinitely more valuable at the dish.
If you want a more apt comparison, it's probably Richie Sexson or Russell Branyan. Those two guys are both free swingers that take very few walks, strike out a ton, and hit a ton of home runs.
As for the purchase, I would have to say that you did overpay a bit considering the blue refractor versions are only fetching $7 or $8, but on your side is the condition of the card which looks to be strong on the centering grade at least.
If Reynolds keeps hitting and puts up a few 40 HR seasons, you could have a very nice card on your hands, but patience would have been a virtue as you probably could have picked up another that came up on auction later for less money. Just my opinion.

the book value is $100.00 picking up a card for that % of book will equate to a nice flip if he puts up any power numbers!

Oddly enough, Mark Reynolds never had a Chrome card until 2007. This "Green" rookie card was actually his first issue. He was kind of a non-descript minor league power hitter until his breakout season in 2006. Never was considered a hot property prospect.

This is what happens when one is uninformed.
There are a handful of green/rookie logo cards that are indeed a player's first card. Pelfrey, Lincecum's non BC auto, and Reynolds are three examples. Kouz is not.

usually they dont sell well, because they aren't usually their first year bowmans...that is not the case here.
If he ever is desired (it's possible at his young age, he can learn to control his strikeouts), this would be the most desired card of his, that one could own.
