2008 Bowman Chrome Draft Market Information

Data like that always makes me wonder why the hell people who are buying as investment would ever buy early.

Meh, that's a little subjective. I bought about 15 NEftali EEE autos and they are 50% higher now then when I bought them..I got some for 12. Also look at Zach Collier, he has only gone up since release...

Overall I do agree though...

Check out the drop for Ike Davis Refractor Autos...

If you hit those early BINs you are probably feeling kinda like this...

No, they're feeling worse than that.....they're feeling like this:

you just gotta be careful what you buy.

Separate out hype, and avoid it.

Buying early is beneficial for grabbing prospects who fly under the radar, and the chance to get the BIN steals. Buying early is a terrible idea when it comes to the big names, because they will drop.

i am confused, how can we see a trend from one price?

I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, not trying to be a smart alec.

 

[Mudcatsfan]

i see now, i have to go to the real one and click thru for history.

Very nice. Couple questions:

Why not allow users to help you add auctions? Might be easier for ya.
How long do you plan on doing this?
Why don't you like graphs? Visual aids rule.

id have to say a prominent prospector's sig (now gone) can partially explain this.

We have a team of about 15 guys adding auctions. I have picked through and got guys that had a lot of time on their hands and were trustworthy. We will be adding more soon. You are a trustworthy guy, do you have free time?


I plan on doing this as long as FCB is a viable hobby resource.

I don't like graphs because they would be inaccurate in this sense. The date is not the end date of the auction, its the date it was posted on the OPG. There isn't a way to pull the end date from ebay without using something called an API call. We use up our API calls with FCBay.

Oh in that case then buying ASAP is usually the best thing to do. But I remember somebody (don't remember who it was) bought some Lars chrome autos on release around $70 (base chrome autos) and tried to tell me that there's no way they would go down because Lars is a stud...but even that card is in the mid 40s now.
I think given that draft has been out for awhile, the weak economy, people spending all of their DI on gifts and such, we are in one of the best times to buy. I know Hewitt isn't exactly Buster Posey in terms of hype, but grabbing blue refs for under $20 for him seems so low to me. Beckham was also ridiculously low (60s/70s) until the last couple of days when they cracked 3 digits.

 

[cgilmo]

even for under the radar guys, there is a drop



Holland was considered a steal, and his cards experienced a drop too.

Blues were the steady card.

base refractors dipped
http://www.freedomcardboard.com/opg/ind ... &cardid=22



He and Josh Reddick have been the two steadiest cards.




can you guys tell I am in love with the OPG?

Exactly! I remember the Anderson post when BC came out. Rule of thumb: If it's a big name prospect at release, stay as far away as possible!

all this information becomes really cool when ebay deletes it
