Yes He went on a tear ,.... But another year of great Ball would that send him into super star status?

He definitely has not hit superstar status in the hobby or the card would be worth 2x-3x what it is, though I'm not sure what it will take for him to get there. He may been to become to face of the Yanks after Jeter and Arod fade while maintaining a high level performance for it to happen. I wouldn't count on it happening anytime too soon though I think at current prices it's a solid deal.
Was it superstardom, or the carry-over from his hype as a prospect? (I differentiate between the two based on who I assume is buying the cards largely. On the BC 9.5 I imagine many people were prospectors or were buying because of investment reasons, while increases later on are more likely collectors. Usually you can tell who it was if the high prices are at least somewhat sustained as it indicates widespread hobby recognition.)jcmint said:Topnotchsy said:Card hit $250 when he was really hot, and now is in the $125 range.

Remember when his bowman chrome gold ref 9.5 was selling in the four digits. Thats hobby superstardom.
