Wait, did Aumont do anything special recently?

[Messier2]

These were like $20 recently and now one sold for $45?! (BTW, his other cards are also going for big $$$)

well he sure did look like he has some potential by his WBC outing even though it was shaky

 

[mredsox89]

He looked good in the WBC

 

[DRav87]

He pitched in the World Baseball Classic.

That chick in your sig is awesome...I never get upset after reading one of your posts.

 

[Seiya]

Specifically the WBC game against the US. Got into a bases loaded jam then struck out a guy or two to end the inning.

 

[Messier2]

Yeah, I knew he pitched in the WBC for Canada but didn't think that would be enough to see a spike in his cards...I guess I was wrong!

 

[chuckbartowski]

Didn't he strike out the side after loading the bases with 0 outs?

All it takes is one or two new buyers to enter the festivities, looks like he's got a few maybe.
good stuff
glad I passed on 17 of them for 21ea. last week :evil:

 

[Messier2]

Hold or sell?

 

[jbone17]

Sell!

 

[lvdan]

you sold your Waldens for 15 ea right? Why would you even think twice if you can get 40+ea. for the Aumonts?

I think it was just a one time thing. If you listed them auction style they would go for the going rate. I've been wrong before though.

Looks like its time to move the rest of my Aumonts. He got to around 35 per elite at his peak when I sold some, with blues getting 100 and reds like 150. I only have base now, but I can't pass if I can get 45 per.

Yall don't think you should wait for the milb season to start? All it takes is a double digit K shutout or BA Top 10. Why sell now? I know you shouldn't get greedy ,but you should atleast let the hype train get moving down the tracks.

tend to agree, $25-30 next weekend probably
maybe 120 BIN messier?

Don't forget how high Adenhart, Gallardo, and Scherzer elite reached. These guys could fall into the same category. I know it sucks to dump to late ,but dumping to early is no fun either.

 

[Messier2]

I guess we'll see what kind of offers I get in...

I bought in very cheap to Aumont, and am already way in the positive on him. I sold a bunch of blues and reds for almost 3x what I paid on them and base 2-2.5 times what I paid on him. Plus he has a Chrome card due for release, yes its a 2009 card and a WBC card at that, but it's still a chrome card.

Real good point. I didn't think of that. Elite's have been able to hold on pretty strong if Chrome is released a year or so after the Elite ,but I would probably do the same in your situation.
