Whoa! They used MM's Bowman Chrome Auto card! Cool!

Surprised a bit about Stanton's high ranking but LOVING it! :)

Glad I was able to pick up a '08 EEE auto of Montgomery about two weeks ago for $1.50 :D

A bit surprised Carlos isn't #1, but hard to fault Monty. I've had my lone Monty ref auto staring me in the face all week... I thought I had a few more, including a blue, but I think I just bid on a bunch of them this offseason and didn't win that many ::facepalm::

Other than us, who else looks at BA's hotlist?? Fantasy managers...who else?

Three off the top of my head:


1) Other sportscard mesage boards.
2) General Managers.
3) Fans of prospects who subscribe to BA and have heard of baseball cards but don't collect them.

I would think GM's have enough scouts/talent evaluators to not have to wait every Friday to see who BA says is the hottest prospects for the week. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, I love the list and seeing the partnership between Topps and BA is really something to keep an eye on. I'd like too see BA help out and add their $.10 when it comes to Topps setting up their prospect product checklists. . .

Nice top o' the cap for Gindl, but why not mention Lucroy in the same sentence?

Not a GM, but Andrew Friedman (VP of Operations for the Rays) wrote the Foreward to BA's Prospect Handbook last year, in which he raved about them and their coverage.
