buying early? you mean before spring training next season after it bottoms below 600 right? if youre suggesting bowman chrome will rise after release that would be a first. lets revisit this thread on black friday...

It's fun to speculate and I'm always interested in reading everyone's opinions but while there's certainly some folks who are knowledgeable enough to handicap the young guys, no one really knows and it could be 2 or 3 years before this set takes off.

If all this was so easy to predict there would have been a lot more people sitting on cases of 2011 BDPP(and 2010, 2009, etc) instead of wishing they had bought them while they were cheap.

As we all know it only takes 1 or 2 guys to blow the prices through the roof....

2011 bowman draft was hardly a secret, it had winner written all over it right from the start as did 2010.

yah because i, like most others cant afford to sit on it long term. i'm sure there were a ton of people that knew 2011 dp was a monster before it shot up. however, most people either dont have the funds or patience to sit on cases

I bought 20 cases of this and busted them all...too bad I sold all my trouts so early for, in retrospect, pennies on the dollar

Don't regret it though, it was a blast ripping them, and I haven't sold any of the autos or prospect lots yet...that being said, I probably could have made 6 grand easy if I didn't break them!!!!

I would say Castellanos, Hamilton and Soler will be the highest $$$ sellers out of the gate. Castellanos is a huge name, with a good team - Hamilton had all the SB news around him all year so everyone knows his name, and Cubs fans are crazy for their prospects and Soler could be a stud, so I am guessing he will sell really well too.

The main guys: Hamilton, Skaggs, Castellanos....some would put Soler and Marisnick in here. Maybe even Austin or Singleton but I would say the top 3 is set


Tier 1: Skaggs, Hamilton, Castellanos
Tier 2: Soler, Austin, Singelton, Marsincik, maybe Paxton, I would put Buckel here since I am a fan boy
Tier 3: Buckel, Santana, Campos, Guzman, Mazarra, May, Head, Villanueva, Cigrani, ODor

I mean Tier 3 is loaded cuz you got guys like Garcia and Ozuna too.

people really think highly of billy hamilton? I mean he isn't worthless, but he has zero ceiling and like callis stated, hardly any of the guys to steal that many bases in milb ever did anything in the majors, preseason campos was going to be the best guy price-wise (just because he's a yankee) and I bet people go crazy for soler thinking he will immediately be sweet just like cespedes, this is a darn good list for BC, it's got nothing on 2011 draft, nor will any list for 10 years probably, did someone say they have a 26+ percent of getting a junk auto in that set? really, who are they? the worst part of this list is all of the latino guys that we literally know nothing about, not really, they all probably have high ceilings, but many of them could be the next profar or the next angel villalona

at some point from the release and now, a huge portion of the low end autos could have been sold for $10, whether at or now that they've become more hyped, if you count michael fulmer, kyle crick, snell, stephenson, etc in that low end list then yeah I guess...

I "knew" that it was going to be one of the best sets in forever, I was absolutely "sure" of it. I bought 5 cases and you need to understand one year ago I wasn't really that into the card game either, but I dropped 3350 or whatever on 5 cases and sat on them for months, hid them in a closet and would think about how I didn't ever want to bust them. Finally after they kept DROPPING in price I just decided that apparently I had no idea what I was doing and in february I went to a card show and was able to sell the boxes until i got my money back, which was $3300 that I had invested so that's a lot of money and it was hurting my ability to buy any singles because I thought I'd have flipped it for a $1000 profit easy by then.

Well....I was right. It's a great set and I could have made several hundred a case, but the fact it took a lot of the no-name guys getting more hype in-season and guys like bauer going off to really jump the price makes me wonder if I'll ever want to wait 9 months to profit 30-40 percent on something like that again...IF it all works out. Obviously I'm not scoffing at the profit percentage.

[Bosco]

I think if the Reds have a strong post season, Billy Hamilton's auto could do even better than some people expect. I know this could be said for any prospect that belongs to a team in the postseason. But I think there could be untapped juice behind the hype Billy Hamilton has already created. And I'm fully aware he isn't with the big league club this season. However, I can see his name thrown around during post season broadcast quit a bit. I'm sure there is some sponsors paying for his name to be mentioned as much as possible.

He has no ceiling? Keith Law and BA have him as the 27th best prospect in baseball.
So I really dont know what you are talking about, and Id like to see where Callis said hes gonna be useless because he steals.

[mgugs46]

Billy Hamilton will sell well because of the hype he received during this year - it doesnt matter how good of a prospect he actually is.

Which is what I meant, you break records, you sell.

But hes a good prospect, a top 30 one for that matter. Who is also the fastest baseball player on the planet.

[greenjdo]

Billy will sell well, probably not the best investment though... i think thats the point....

i agree, this is a deep class and a prospectors wet dream...

but riddle me this bat man.... if you are waiting to buy up all the bowman chrome on black friday....where are you gonna have the flow to buy bdpp the day BEFORE Thanksgiving... decisions, decisions, decisions

[StlScott]

Hamilton could be decent, but I dont see Rickey Henderson or Lou Brock. He is probably going to the outfield. When I see Hamilton, I think Vince Coleman (whose record he broke). Even back in the day,living in Saint Louis, never did I want to spend any money on Coleman's cards. I do like a bunch of other names on the list now that it is filled.

That's the beauty of this. Most of us can understand the tier concept. The challenge is to find guys other than tier one who will pay later like tier one! Also, avoid everyone's tier one who you think will bomb. I love prospecting... Nice list by the way...

[bigsmoot2]

Hamilton is a good prospect, but speed doesn't sell baseball cards, chicks dig the long ball.

Signed,
Dee Gordon

I do think he will sell well due to the news around him, but there are others that when all is said and done could be the best seller in the set.

[pkscards]

I actually am really digging this checklist, though there maybe are a few too many 2* or 1* guys.

Castellanos, Skaggs, Hamilton, Austin, Soler, Singleton, Buckel, Cingrani, Paxton, Villanueva, Mazara, Garcia, Campos, Marisnick, Odor, Rutledge, May all pretty nice...

That being said, I'm a Red Sox fan...Boss Moanaroa and Williams Jerez??? Really? They could've gotten Keury de la Cruz or Brandon Workman or Henry Owens. Those guys stink.
