why the sudden spike in G Beckham's prices?

[J.O.]

blues were getting 70-80 last week, now they're over $100. thoughts?

there are half of the blues this year


the market is drying up and people are starting to realize it.

 

[brianga26]

he is a good player? good looking card?
haha..

Not sure.. maybe the demand has risen with the prospects of him shooting through the system.. maybe its the B.A affect, since he was the B.A cover boy last week

Um, Gordon Beckham is #'d /150.

I see where you are going grasshoppa, but it does not apply.

The autos in draft are still numbered to 150. The non-autos they reduced to 99.

I noticed the spike as well...my plan was to buy a few here and there until the season started at the prices of a few days ago...maybe they'll go back down after Christmas.

They are still low at their current prices.

Maybe collectors have realized that he is like O'Doyle...

He Rules!

Actually whether he stays at 2B or is moved to 3B, ChisSox putting togther a decent infield for 2011 (beckham, alexei, viciedo at 1B by then, and lillibredge/getz/nix, flowers behind plate)

I just got one for $75, i saw the auction youre talking about and there were two in the pic. i wonder if some of the bidders thought it was for both. Plus beckham is probably the closest to recent ryan braun/evan longoria types

2 in a row went over $100 for seemingly no reason, so I've been wondering the same thing. Pretty frustrating considering how good of a price they were at before.

So, I should sit on this for a bit?
