Better ROI: Chad Billingsley BC auto or Kershaw BC RC Auto?

[coltsfan23]

Which do you think will end up giving a better ROI this season? I think both are definitely solid investments right now.

Chromes are probably half the cost of Kershaw and he already had a 200K season.

Kershaw - younger and more room for improvement/establishment/hype. As it's been said Billingsley has already had good seasons with little hobby love. Kershaw can still be "the next big thing."

Billingsley.

Personally, I don't believe that those cards have peaked yet, and Kershaw's I believe have already hit their peak around call-up time.

Kershaw!

Billingsley.

The fact that he may have already reached his peak is irrelevant in this discussion. Which will be worth more at it's peak this year - $1000 worth of Kershaw bought now or $1000 worth of Billingsley right now?

Still Billingsley. Last Kershaw base BC auto to end at auction (that I saw) ended for 60+. Last Billingsley was 18+. By that account if Billingsley raises $10 you hypothetically profit $500. If Kershaw goes up $10 you make $166. I think it's more likely a 20 dollar card goes up to $30 than a $60 card to $70.

Fair enough just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing.

If anyone is looking to move Billingsley RC Auto's as $20 apiece, please pm me. I'd be interested in a large stack.

With the way the season has started, I thought this was an interesting post to bump.

Good idea! Interested to see what members think again.

Personally, I have 3 Billingsley BCs and 2 Kershaw. Both have been pitching great, but Kershaw has seen the increases so far for the most part with that amazing 13 K performance.

CB without question. His cards could doubble or tripple with a good year. I do not see Kershaws getting that same kind of ROI by any means. I mean, could you really see any of his 'in demand' RC au's or just plain RC doubbling or trippling considering there allready inflated prices? I do not.

Yet, make no mistake, I think Kershaw is 2x the talent, but I have to go with the percentages here and it would take an act of god to see his cards doubble this year.

In my completely unbiased opinion, it's:

We haven't seen too many Billingsley's end in the last couple of days (base Chrome's anyway.) On thepit.com the last trades were at $24, a pretty significant from $18 (a full 33%.) On eBay the last Kershaws have gotten in the $60 range. I haven't followed his stuff, but is that a real increase? I thought they were getting $60ish in the offseason (though I may be mistaken.)

The Billingsleys have been getting around 25ish pretty steadily on Ebay. The Kershaws did get around $60 range in the offseason and up till recently his stuff had been pretty much the same. Since that 13K game, his stuff has been up. The only chrome to end was a PSA 9 version that went 80-81 dlvd on Ebay. I'm fairly confident one could get 70s for a non-graded version, so a bit of an increase. Of course, not huge but it counts.

Fair enough. I only used thepit for Billingsley since there was nothing on eBay (since I think eBay in general is a better indicator of market value) but to make a fair comparison I should have checked Kershaw's prices on thepit.

I'd usually go ebay, but since someone is willing to pay $80 for it, you might as well mention it, and scary to think these were at $142 on thepit...
