Strasburg Super hits ESPN

[Mr.Whipple]

I am confused with this though honestly. Wont the auto version that comes out soon pretty much negate the importance of this one? Not bashing the seller at all and hope he gets over 20k for it and has a blast with that cash. But seeing how Heywards 2nd year chrome auto sells for more than a 1st year non auto version. I am guessing that is the norm with chrome cards and the world of prospecting. I dont see the red auto 1/1 selling mega high if it doesnt show up prior to the chrome super auto. Or maybe I am wrong and have no clue about the prospect market. And on a side note, I can not justify paying that much for a card of someone who has done nothing honestly. I dont see how the buyer can flip this card for a decent profit honestly, Unless he grades it and comes back a BGS 10 or something. And realy dont see the long term potential for it also, He couldnt have the career to keep that card at this level. After all he is a pitcher and I thought from most of your comments, That it is never wise to invest long term in a pitcher. Or is prospecting just one large circle of contradiction?

Gilmo needs to get the seller a FCB shirt pronto. Dude just might make it onto national news soon and should have the proper gear on. What a crazy story. Yahoo, the Boston Globe and now ESPN. And it's not over yet. Remember the pub Alex Gordon got?

Get him a shirt.

Yep, maybe Gilmore can MC and be present when sale happens. This needs to be done in person and it will get media attention. Gilmore in FCB shirt, I still think W will win it. Get him a FCB shirt and this site will blow up.

Who says prospectors only bid on prospect cards?
