I had like 15 of them and I gave them all away to John Ryno a couple years back.

I was preparing for the move to SC and needed to toss tens of thousands of cards I no longer had room for so I separated certain players into lots and gave em away to members of Blowout. I opened so many cases of 2011 Topps Update when it came out. So many cards tossed. Although I held onto certain rookies like Goldschmidt. Sold my Trouts a few years back. Sold lots of the top rookies. Still have a bunch of rookies from Update but none of the big guns.

Any reason why this out sells his 2010 1st BC?

i dont know, maybe the average person prefers the flagship product?

Probably right, along with the RC logo.

Probably right, along with the RC logo.

And I don't think they produce as much Update?

Another good point. Topps printed a ton of cases of BC during Strasburg mania.

Also, do die hard collectors consider the BC prospects as inserts?

I'm so glad I held onto my autograph collection back in 2013 instead of giving them away for pennies. I made an absolute killing a month ago. I thought for sure he was my first failed prospecting venture. Became a great long term investment.

Somewhere calculusdork is smiling!

I'll sell when I get the offers I'm looking for. There isn't a whole lot on the market right now and I don't want to be a pig...

Get ready, with the trade of Bruce in guessing Doms time is near

His 2011 Bowman Sterling base RC chrome last got $67.42/dlvd, raw. Seems about par for the course. But why are his 2011 Bowman Draft paper RC and chrome RC selling for so little?

 

[bmp1971]

Thought I'd try something like this since I'm just not in a place where I can do a hotlist...i'll try and keep it moving but please add what you would like to add!

Let's start with a hot prospect who some may have written off at one point.

Dominic Smith cards are catching fire!

This card was 71 dollars in may

Now you can get a raw copy for about the same price...

His higher end stuff is doing even better!

Who do you have?

Does this card look 9.5 centering to you? If top to bottom can be off in this set, then both my clean copies are 9.5 centering and have an easy shot to gem. This graded one looks the same as the centering of the card on the right, below, and the one on the left is better than that one, which is why I should conclude both are 9.5 centering or better-- right?

I think there's a good chance for this card to go higher...especially with an MVP or WS appearance. I'm sitting on a nice stack of graded and I'm torn on holding or selling. Any thoughts?

 

[phillyfan0417]

Bumping this back up for a player who is trending a bit down and for those who may want some more...that is good news!

This is about 40 or so dollars off the norm...

Have you seen Hoskins stuff lately? Over $209 for a green ref /150 like this one on auction, raw. I guess I should list this one?

Yeah man, stuff's off the chain.


Elite autos are nuts.

 

[phillyfan0417]

If you have them, dump them.


Hoskins is a very nice player but the prices right now are for someone who would be considered elite...I'm not sure he's that.
