Prices have dropped...

All the big money is going for players who haven't hit the majors yet. Once a player
does well, there is an initial spike but then collectors get bored. You see it every year.

I've been looking at some prices and there have been a whole bunch of guys who seem to be going very low right now. I guess this is pretty much the list of guys I would be buying if funds weren't tight.

Miguel Cabrera- His Topps Traded Autograph hit $500 earlier this year, and it has been $800 in the past. For some reason in the last couple of weeks it has dropped to $350 even though he's still a legit MVP candidate and has taken an already superlative career to the next level. Only RC Auto as well.

Carl Crawford- Should get a chance to show his stuff in the Playoffs, right before he is a free agent. Topps Traded Auto is sitting at around $40. Also his only RC Auto.

Jon Lester- Bowman Chrome Auto's have been under $25 recently. Hard to fathom. When I posted about selling stuff his were the stuff of mine the most people asked for, so it's clear that the interest is there. I think that people have just gotten used to the prices sitting and don't feel the need to push it but IMO the day something sets them moving, they could jump a whole lot.

Alex Rodriguez- His 1994 Upper Deck Autograph has been going around $200, which is ridiculously low for what it is (RC year auto of one of the best all time.) Do make sure that the authenticity sticker on the back is legit...

Those completed prices on Cabrera are for non-graded cards. I would imagine the prices on those are a bit depressed due to the concerns over condition and possible trimming among raw cards (IE: if they were worth grading, they would have been).

You're saying they're going very low right now - but low compared to what? Perhaps the players or cards you're comparing them to are too high and these Miggy, Crawford and Lester prices are much more realistic.

It's pretty obvious he's stating that they're low compared to what the cards used to sell for, especially since most of them have only one rookie auto aside from Lester, even though the players have been performing well.

But the only player he said that about was Cabrera.

I will stand by my earlier claim that there are plenty of miggy tt autos out there.
Still plenty of unopened sets available

If I remember correctly the auto's are in the base sets right? Not the chrome ones.

Every single player that he has listed has dropped of significantly in value as far as I can remember, I've just gotten back into the hobby after a two year break but from what I remember Cabrera's TT Auto's have gone like he said as high as $800, I'm also pretty sure Crawford's autos have been at least double what they are, if not more. Lester's BC Auto's used to sell for at least double they are now as well, especially when he made his comeback. The A-Rod's I am not sure of, but I know it is an extremely popular card and I have no doubt that they have sold for way higher than the prices that they are currently selling for.
