Which Prospect's Prices Drop???

I am thinking Machado is a slight possibility due to the lack of numbers...I don't think he will hit a bunch of HRs until he fills his frame a little more. A high average and good following could keep them at bay though.

Who you got?

Montero when he gets traded

i can see that happening easily

Simple answer:

All of them drop, just a matter of when.

i should have said this summer

Christian Yelich. I just don't see any power currently from him, he needs to fill out more.

I guess I don't understand why Montero getting traded(if it were to happen), would be a huge hit to his prices?

Mike Stanton and Jason Heyward showed you don't have to be in NY to get hobby love. Montero is not the exact same type of player as they are, but he's the same level of prospect that Stanton was. Look at Freddie Freeman, his chrome autos were over $60 I believe.

I guess what I'm getting at is that performance will determine his prices(and any other prospect, for that matter)-and of course hype mixed in does well, too. Being in NY is obviously a plus, but if he performs(no matter where it is), his prices will follow.

Now, if he can just perform :twisted:

60.00 isnt 100.00+ that Montero was getting for his. Not a good comparison.

Notice I said THAT he was getting and anyways..he's already dropped then :lol:

I think he is saying that Montero at $60 is a better buy than Freeman at $60.

montero drops because you lose the ability to sell to the largest group of team collectors. the yankee followers will pay more for yankee players because there is more competition. austin jackson 08 autos were jacked up when he was hyped up and in stripes... goes to detroit and plays above his head and the cards still dip. in new york playing at that level his cards might have revived that sept 08 price. and that is ignoring the fact that hype is there for the people in early and evaporates when they have sold to those showing up late.

for me the biggest drop this year will be in bryce harper he will see the same lull that laporta saw. 2-3 years out from the show gives people more time to buy and more cards hitting the market will chop a percentage off of his lofty prices. i still see the sweet usa patch autos bringing the moon but the rest will see a shift downward.

oh yeah and jason place!
