Bowman Chrome card for the #1 prospect? Neat!

 

[Jaypers]

One thing, though.

Where's Strasburg???????

 

[striderboi]

Nice to see Cashner at #5 as my Printing Plate ends today...

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

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

CARLOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AmishDave]

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

I sold my entire stash to my late last year. I did well, about 150% profit, but wish I would have held longer! Congrats Mike!

If this new partnership between BA and Topps doesn't cause a price spike each Friday, I don't know what will.

Well done on Travis D'arnaud, he is going to be a very good ML catcher.


i really need to scan alot of my stash including 5 gem blue auto's and the gold i just picked up for peanuts...

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

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::

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.

Justin Smoak making the list I think this will be a common thing this season, at least till he get called up!

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.

He's selling well too.

Just sold a Blue USA Auto /150 for $18

Three Jays! Don't believe that's ever happened before.
