    2012 Panini Prizm Baseball Big Hit Tracker (Update - April 23rd)

    Someone put 'insanity' in their auction title? Who searches eBay for insanity?

    eesh, that is some abrasively shiny product.

    New Leaf Matrix Inserts

    I'm not particularly good at science, but does 'genetic matrix' signify anything other than 2 cool words put together? Or is it like a pun on genetic makeup? I've heard of gene sequences, and cellular/extra-cellular matrices, but not a genetic matrix. It is fancy-looking. I'm always in...

    Minor League Performances Official Daily Thread - 4/15

    Luis Mateo will be making his AA debut in Binghamton tonight. Mets #9 Prospect. Very high K, low BB guy, though he has to this point pitched a bit below age level.

    2013 MLB draft talent pool

    I think we've been spoiled with some really clear, obvious and quick-rising talent in the 1/1 slot over the past few years (Harper, Strasburg, and to a lesser extent Price). There is not a player of that caliber in this draft, nor a clear consensus number 1. I think there are a lot of 'safe'...

    Crazy Cingrani Stash

    That is going to be a real chore to sell, unless BG/HoS/PR decides to do "Prospect Pumpout--Cingrani Edition".

    NY TIME REPORTING AROD WAS TRYING TO BUY MEDICAL RECORDS

    I just mean in terms of a guy that might (might) be banned for life, and who has some significant historical records, yet will not be given a plaque in Cooperstown.

    NY TIME REPORTING AROD WAS TRYING TO BUY MEDICAL RECORDS

    maybe he is buying them because he is so committed to clean baseball that he doesn't trust MLB and Selig's office to go about enforcing the rules and dealing with the offenders. ha, just kidding. This generation's Pete Rose.

    Minor League Performances Official Daily Thread - 4/12

    On the same "where is this guy?" vein...anyone know why Ronald Torreyes hasn't been playing and isn't on any of the Cubs Rosters? 20 year old 2B who OPS'd .800ish in high A---probably not released I'd imagine. Also, this is the guy with the greatest signature ever on his EEE cards.

    Would this eBay feedback bother you?

    First of all, unless they are negs, I never read my feedback. And I have no negs. Second, I find the "truly an asset to ebay" and "excellent ebayer" kinda funny. I'd imagine that ebay does not, at their shareholder meetings, tell folks "well, we got Dan, and he is truly an asset in our...

    Confirmed Autos in 2013 Bowman

    So how much do you think having Olson in the UA and base checklist will affect his USA Chrome Auto prices? I still have a couple that I'm debating selling.

    Maybe he took a page out of the Carlos Zambrano playbook as to how to make it to the Cubs roster.

    2013 Topps Tribute Baseball Big Hit Tracker 5/12/2013

    Nice Jeter. And it's actually from Derek Jeter (unlike that ASG tag fiasco). 0-4 with 2k on May 2, 2012. I like it when you can actually look up the game it came from.

    Crazylegs Selman picked up the W going 5.0, 1H, 2BB, 4K in his Hi A debut. Caleb Cotham with his AA debut, a bit old for a prospect but a NYYer: 5IP, 5h, 1er, 2bb 5K

    Ok...so seriously, why do you collect?

    oh yeah. A good portion of my spending goes to non-card VU memorabilia. Old news papers, tickets, programs, etc. I have the full page Tennessean Spread from when Dudley Field was open. "The South's First Football Stadium", and a full season ticket book from that 1922 season.

    The Bowman Scout Blog

    I've always thought articles/posts about how you evaluate prospects would be interesting. What factors you look for in a good prospecting investment versus how they might be distinct from evaluating successful MLB players.

    Ok...so seriously, why do you collect?

    Because I like baseball. And baseball cards are inexorably linked with baseball. As to why the super high end....eh, no reason. because I like to have an excuse to buy high end, and only buy it of former VU guys. Someday there will be a Vanderbilt sports hall of fame building and I will...
