Rickie Weeks breakout year, what gives?

[nikateen]

Rickie Weeks is having a breakout season, but his cards are still getting no love. You can still buy his Chrome rc auto for $15. What gives?

Then buy!

If the cards didn't have this on them, they would be worth more:

Too many years of teasing fans then getting injured. Give it time.

Until another injury or his cards to appreciate?

You're an idiot. In the past ten years we've had two of the hobbies icons.

1). He's injury prone
2). He's a 2B
3). He's 27
4). His breakout year just happens to coincide with him having turned 27 (the mythical age for rotoheads)
5). He's not getting into Cooperstown without a ticket

Sure his cards should be a bit easier to move, but I don't see a big bump in price being warranted.

He still has past years of production (albeit not great) on his resume.

A lot of players who aren't getting into Cooperstown chrome auto's sell for over $15. I just find it weird that he is absolutely mashing and his cards haven't spiked at all. I mean not even a little.

I think he's kind of settled into the old beckett "minor star" category and it's tough to break out of that at this point in his career, especially based on what is realistically about half a season's production. That being said though, I'm loving what he's been able to put together staying healthy so far this year. He's finally living up to the potential of a #2 overall draft pick and I hope the Brewers are able to re-sign him to a long term deal this off-season.

Exactly. Until some more time passes I don't think anyone is convinced he is not going to get injured again (and again.) If he maintains performance and stays healthy there's no reason they don't double.

And if any of the three of them were on another team they would have a much greater value.
