Robinson Cano 2003 SOF the future.....

His 1st Auto Can you see these cards hitting , Mega BUCKS....when he goes on a ripping TEAR..LMK

He went on a ripping tear earlier this year and they increased a little. He would have to a lot for it to increase a lot, in my opinion, already a pretty good card though.

His heritage auto is worth more.

He was in the running for mvp and they kinda moved and sat still since. I cant see them going much higher.

Yes He went on a tear ,.... But another year of great Ball would that send him into super star status?

He is already there. Won a championship a gold glove 3rd place mvp and a silver slugger.

Card hit $250 when he was really hot, and now is in the $125 range. He definitely has not hit superstar status in the hobby or the card would be worth 2x-3x what it is, though I'm not sure what it will take for him to get there. He may been to become to face of the Yanks after Jeter and Arod fade while maintaining a high level performance for it to happen. I wouldn't count on it happening anytime too soon though I think at current prices it's a solid deal.

the card peaked long ago.

it will be difficult for him to improve on this season, and the hobby seems to not care

Remember when his bowman chrome gold ref 9.5 was selling in the four digits. Thats hobby superstardom.

Was it superstardom, or the carry-over from his hype as a prospect? (I differentiate between the two based on who I assume is buying the cards largely. On the BC 9.5 I imagine many people were prospectors or were buying because of investment reasons, while increases later on are more likely collectors. Usually you can tell who it was if the high prices are at least somewhat sustained as it indicates widespread hobby recognition.)

I think that Cano is still a few notches below guys like Jeter, Pujols etc. in the hobby, and probably still below guys like Miguel Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez (deservedly so as those guys have had significantly better careers to this point.)
