Re: Was this a steal for me? TOMMY HANSON ORANGE 9.5?
Dont be a dick. Who says there are better investments? If you actually knew anything about business, you would realize that an investment is a COMPLETELY subjective personal decision. Risk, time value of money, expected return, current economic conditions, and a variety of other external factors are necessary when determining how YOU want to invest your money. Just like in the stock market, if you want to earn a higher potential return, you have to assume more risk. The fact that the Hanson will more than likely not LOSE any value over time with a small-medium growth potential makes it a solid investment. Another investing alternative is obviously to buy a bunch of lower end, lower level prospects and HOPE they pan out. Obviously the initial investment is lower, but factoring the risk of the prospect not panning out, the length of time you have to hold the card to realize a profit and the opportunity cost of any associated interest that could have been accumulated over that time, unpredictable future market conditions, etc. this investment may not be justifiable to the OP.

Morton will be called up- they wont rush Hanson. 4-5 more dominant starts in the minors, and his stuff will just get hotter in anticipation for a summer callup as he climbs the BA hot sheet. Hes improved at every level hes gotten to- no reason to think he wont do it in the majors...
That wasn't the point... The point was that there are a lot of better investments of even Hanson than this card; not that this card WILL not absolutely 100% go up.
Regardless, I think this discussion is done as Jay's Cards thinks it is a pointless conversation, though ROI vs. ROIC is apparently not.
