1st prospect stash completed, now what?

[cfind]

In addition to working on my USA set, I attempted to compile a small prospect stash based on info I got on this site. I'm not trying to spam them, they're not listed for sale here or on Ebay, but I was hoping to get some advice on what I should do next, hold/sell, grade them, what a waste of money, I am a crappy prospector...

I've never successfully done this before and to prove it I'll show what I've had sitting in a shoebox collecting dust.

The New:
Wil Myers 1ST BC AUTO
Gold Refractor 17/50

Nick Franklin 1st BC AUTO
Base Auto

Gold Refractor 13/50

Gold Refractor 17/50

SIMON CASTRO 1ST BC
Gold Refractor 10/50

Gold Refractor 28/50

Gold Refractor 14/50

ALEXANDER TORRES 1ST BC
Orange Refractor 03/25

J.P. Arencibia 1st BC AUTO
Base Auto

Base Auto

Base Auto

YU DARVISH WBC BC
Orange Refractor 06/25

And what's been sitting in a shoebox collecting dust:

Why not grade them? That will add more value...

 

[excel_B]

That Myers Gold is a good time to sell - price is creeping high and higher everyday...

Arencibia - hold til he get promoted. He's that close for big promotion.

very nice stash, i would say hang on to Wil Myers, he keeps on going up, i would dump those Bubba Bells while you can though, sell them while they have some value as i dont see him making it any further than AAA

 

[chompsmcgee]

If I were you I'd sell one of those Franklin golds to me

 

[sdsportsfan1214]

I now know who has been beating me on those Castro Golds haha, nice pickups!

 

[aminors]

Definitely hold the Myers, and sell the JPs while he's crushing the ball. When he gets promoted, his power numbers should drop. Hold Franklin(he's in a pitcher's league in the MWL), Castro, and Torres. Sell Darvish and hold Inoa.

Why sell Darvish? There's a possibility he will come to MLB...

Sell while people still believe it'll happen. I realize that if it does, his cards will explode, but if it doesn't they will plummet. I'd sell now to be safe.

That's true... I held my Aroldis Chapman Orange Ref & Red Ref til he arrived into the MLB picture, and sold them VERY WELL while Chapman was looking for a team. Just a gamble - I believe he's anxious to pitch in MLB rather than in Japan (he has done everything there in Japan, so there's nothing to prove, you know?)

True. I'd have to read up on the situation. Maybe if I understood it a little more, I'd change my mind.

honestly, it depends on what you have into the Darvish to sell it, if you dont have a whole lot into it, hang on to it, if you do and you can break even or get a little more now, sell it

OMG...Johnny Whittleman??! WTF is wrong with you?!?

BTW, the Alexander Torres is not his first bc card so you want to factor that in!

Believe it or not, I pulled all 3 Whittleman's out of the one and only case I bought that year, so I didn't really have a choice.


I don't have much into the Darvish, so I'll probably hold it, plus I'm japanese so it carries a little more weight with me.

Any thoughts on the Burkes? I'm not sure how I ended up with them or what I even paid.

If only I knew, you would've gotten two more cards to put you closer to the rainbow. Maybe I'll PWE you the x and ref if I can find the horrendous things.

I really don't know what you should do though. Personally, I'm worried about Franklin.

Might as well sit on everything and hope for the best, that's my strategy.

Egad, a Whittleman rainbow!

You've got to send me your address too, I tried to figure it out from the package, but I could only decipher a partial.

WHY? his average may have dropped, but his power is going up!

I still think Kyler Burke has potential..
