STEPHEN STRASBURG

Is again on the 60 day IL In 2020,2021,2022 He has played in a total of 8 games while making $105 million dollars. He should give the Nats $100 million back and just get the hell out of the game. Hands down the worst signing in the history of sports. The guy is a ------.

Funny part is, he is nowhere near where he was at his hype height, but people are still paying AS prices for him. I tried to pick up a signature and keep getting outbid, as I am bidding what a player of his accomplishments should be priced at. The hobby has a habit of never letting go...

Does anyone actually collect Harper, Strasburg, etc?

I like collecting a player. In a couple cases it's to a completist level, in others it's assembling a nice collection of top-end cards. I have to admit, after all the hype, I've become a fan of Bryce Harper's. The way he performed on the field was admirable for someone so young, things like...

This is my conundrum with Billy Hamilton. I started following him when he was stealing everything in sight 2012. I wanted to start collecting him, but immediately his card prices shot thru the roof, even before he made it to the Reds roster. And for all the autographs and memorabilia cards, the prices are still there. He's constantly hurt, and since he forgot how to hit, he can barely make a roster when he's healthy. Yet his card prices never really came back to Earth. He has only managed 139 MLB games in the past 3 seasons and he's back in AAA again, this year.

That said, he's exactly the kind of player I enjoy collecting, a near miss, a what if. Interesting, not just another generic superstar.
