When "prospecting" goes wrong: What are your misses?

1989...I dropped a ton of coin on hundreds of these:

Probably a bad example considering the time-period his cards came out in. When have you been just flat-out wrong?

The way he spelled his first name was only the tip of the sucking iceberg on the Brien Taylor failboat.

The Yankees signed him for $1.55 million in 1991, which was a huge amount. Then he's at a bar one night and gets into a fight defending his brother and his pitching arm is damaged the process.

Pirates fans now get to feel the pain of watching Charlie Morton. He was sent down to AAA with a dubious injury at best. They sent him to sports psychologist and are trying to pump his ego up.

I watched him pitch last night and he gave up 3 runs in the first inning and then proceeded to pitch ok but not anywhere near what he needs to do to get back up to the majors.

The Pirates have to much invested in him to give up so he will be back up this year.

His head isn't screwed on right and he has most likely needs the Zack Greinke treatment.

outstanding stuff, but he can't hit spots

Almost all cubs rookies from 1990 to present at birth day although i'm hopeful tyler colvin will be an exception. By the way, you have an outstanding signature. It really made me laugh when i read it.

I still have that Cahill Refractor Auto that I got from you for the Morton.

 

[mwashuc06]

Hey if Renfroe or Bryan Mitchell can't get going then I would have bought at least a dozen elite autos of two busts.

I still have a crap-ton of 2004 Donruss Elite Mike Rozier autographs. They aren't even worth listing as a lot.
