I have $500 in Michael Bowden. Although he doesn't have to do that much in the majors for me to move at cost. Into most of it for low.

I forgot about my Bowden stash - doesn't compare to my Wieters or Laporta but a few hundo in him.

What "aggravates?" me the most is that I was seconds away from going after Buchholz instead of Bowden. They were selling for the same price back when 05 draft went live. I researched both, and decided to go with Bowden ::facepalm:: The only way I can convince myself it wasn't a completely moronic move is that I would have moved all my Buchholz stuff after his no hitter and I would have any collection left :lol:

I'm in on Jeffress too - have several hundred into him with the most expensive being his Bowman Red Auto 1/1 for~$180. I really thought he was going to do great, he seemed to have all of the tools and that FB was insane.
I've seen Delmon Young mentioned several times but I think he could still turn it around, if you've bought recently, I still think there could be money to be made on him.
For the most part I've come out of most of my prospecting ventures just a few dollars short of the maybe $50 that I invested in them. However sometime last year I remember sinking around $50 into Franklin Morales who I'm still holding out on and Andrew Fie who I'm sitting on a ton of chromes.

Ok, as an old Beckett board user, this made me laugh out loud when I read it. (sorry JP for the loss of $, but the sarcasm was priceless) I remember when Pence hit it big, I had a brief thought that HE was who you were stashing, not Einy.

Anyone need any Mike Durant cards?
6'4", african american big, huge, 1st base power hitter for the Phillies?
Oh wait, they already have one of those?
And he can hit .260-280?
Oh, and Durant can barely break .200 in high A ball?
Grrrrreaaaat.

At one point I had close to about a grand into Lou Marson, but I got a few hundred back last year.

You know!!! LOL, but at least I collected a person and a card I love. Could move the stash, but still hoping to pan out. I am hoping Schaub's breakout will be big next season. I like the potential of the 12 Gold Refractor rc's of him. Have about 500 in them. Got some cheap.

That investment should pay-off next year if you got in at a decent price as referenced above.

I got about 3 for under 20 dollars. 5 for under 40 and a few better centered ones before his trade for in the 70 range. stopped after getting 0f 20% of print run. Still have yet to get a GEM but have 3 in currently. Have Gem base/ref/red/white and have the Blue 1/1 that I had to have to finish the rainbow.

I tanked miserably on Brandon Jones. I had a ton of his BC blues Xfr ref sterlings. No real high end but I graded it all and waited too long to move it. I traded them all to a guy I know and got back nice stuff but I tanked badly. If Jaime Garcia does not come back strong I will take a bath too.
