Holy Godsmack, that is an awesome card! How much did that set you back?

It set me back a couple hundred - maybe overpaid, but didn't want to let it sit too long. Love me some Supers, especially in Heritage now.

A couple hundred isn't bad for a 1/1 superfractor but you've always got to be willing to overpay for a 1/1 if you really want it.

Holy crud, when did Goldschmidt BC autos start reaching $150 for base??

I just sold $250 worth of prospect stuff and plan to use it all on Goldy autos and there is a BC auto ending in 6 hours I planned to bid on but if it's going to set me back $130-$150 I'd rather go after a couple jumbo patch autos via best offer. I remember last offseason I was able to pick a few up for roughly $60 but then when I saw them selling for up to $120 I decided to flip them (for other Goldy/******* stuff). I was unaware of another spike. I'll bid up to $120 but don't want to go higher because I want to get at least one of those patch autos.

Regardless, I'm glad he's getting the attention he deserves in this hobby. I think $150 is more accurately valued based on his performance but make no mistake, if he were traded to the Cubs or Yankees they'd easily be going for $200+.

Atta boy Drury! Just hit a 2-run HR, his second this Spring and 6th RBI. Now up to a .438 avg.

Keep making your case to get onto that 25 man roster come Opening Day!!!

Oh yeah, I'm not unhappy with the price, I'd actually pay more, but it was definitely an "overpay" compared to others. But it isn't the first and won't be the last time I overpay!

I had no idea Goldy's were that high. Damn, I think I paid about $60 for mine. Really wish I had gotten a Blue autograph, now i'll never afford.

Well I just purchased another Goldy auto/patch that I cannot wait to show off once I receive it. Unfortunately the seller is from South Korea so it could take some time...

 

[death2redemptions]

And yeah, I really regret not buying more BC color autos when base autos were selling $40-$60.

Another hit from Drury!
.471 (8 for 17) 2 HR 6 RBI

Nick Ahmed hits his 2nd triple this Spring but he's later picked off at third.

Drury gets on base again via walk. On base machine!

 

[death2redemptions]

Shelby Miller had a better outing this time and if this were the regular season it would have been a scoreless appearance because one of the hits he gave up was so clearly an error and the run would have been scored an unearned run
3 IP 1 ER 4 H 1 BB 0 SO

Regardless, he allowed too many base runners and had to throw too many pitches to get batters out.

3 run HR Bourgeois puts D-Backs on top.

Fairly solid game from Miller...hopefully he's still getting into form, definitely expect less base runners out of him.

I tend to be a worrier, but this ******* elbow soreness is really starting to concern me now. Glad the MRI came back clean, but the fact that it's lingering this long is scary.

You're not alone. I worry as well.

Imagine my excitement when I saw that A.J. ******* had an autograph in a Topps product for the first time since his Bowman days. Then imagine how I felt when I saw the ugly POS

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Topps-...GRAPH-CARD-RARE-STAMPED-11-MAAP-/262330381949

But this is good news - they clearly now have ******* stickers, so I see more autographs in our future! About time!
