Who is this Gleyber Torres?

[David K.]

His base autos are going for 30.00 to 40.00 and I was lucky to get the case hit of his red refractor auto 3/5! My local hobby store sold it for me.....599.99 bin....... 18 years old short stop and from Venez....signed as a free agent. Best regards, David

He's in the next wave of Cubs stud prospects. Best fielding SS out of everyone they have, including Russell and Baez.

Damn. I would've paid way more for it.

Great pull, thinking it is $1,000 card approximately. Congrats!

$600 bin way too cheap! I would have paid you more, and i am cheap.

Too bad you didn't ask this before you let your card shop sell it for a BIN.
As you can tell from the responses, you could have made several hundred dollars more if you had asked first.

I would NEVER want to cast aspersions on an unknown hobby shop, but I would ask who bought it. Did you see the auction go up? Yeah, you have $500+, but it just seems odd that a card shop wouldn't put a little effort into researching what a proper BIN would be.

Quite possibly now the Cubs top prospect...nice pull, I would have just run at .99 cents and watch the bids come in.

Agreed. a new product like this you can do very well auctioning it off.

I can't figure out why this isn't a more common opinion for most cards. Too many BINs that either are extreme or leave money on the table.

Might as well take the money and run, odds are good that pretty soon someone more highly regarded will come along and that $1000 Red auto will turn into a $300 Red auto. I'm sure the guy at my local who pulled a Bubba Starling Gold auto a few years back is happy to have gotten a grand for what is now probably a $200 card.

Closer to $100...

That in no way explains selling a card today for half of what you could get?

Nobody in my area even knew this guy. Looks like someone had it graded 9.5 and its was on ebay for $2,000 or best offer.....Not showing anymore....but not showing in as sold. Best regards, David
