Ever since I wrote the article on February 8th about the explosion of the Vlad Jr. 1st BC non-auto, I have been tracking all non-autos hardcore waiting to see when it would reverberate through the entire marketplace. In that article, I hit on many of the points I will cover here, but I will expand

A little bit ago, I received a question on Instagram asking who are the new 1st Bowman prospects in the 2019 Bowman Baseball checklist (releasing on 4/17). When talking about new 1st Bowman prospects, we aren’t talking about autos only here. We’re talking chrome autos, chrome non-autos, and paper non-autos. After hopping on Cardboard Connection,

Today marked the first release of the Baseball America Hot Sheet (a list put out each week revealing the top 20 performers of the week chosen by BA analysts). Each year, these are some of the biggest indicators to price increases in cards. Following each Hot Sheet release, be on the look out for each

One of the easiest ways for a card to increase in value is through sending it off to PSA or BGS and receiving a Gem Mint or Pristine grade on a card. If a Bowman Chrome auto comes back a 9.5 from BGS, you’re looking at your card being worth 1.69 times more than before

Mike Trout is proving once again why he will go down as the greatest baseball player of all time. Through 11 games he’s running a 27.7 BB%, 8.5 K%, and a 290 wRC+ (weighted runs created adjusted for park factors) with 5 home runs. The league after wRC+ is 100. He is currently hitting 190%

With yesterday’s MiLB Opening Day behind us, it is a great time to take a look at some of the explosive performances that create Day 1 hysteria. I’m going to highlight a few different players’ days, and then give a buy/sell recommendation after each. A buy means I think the statement is going to happen;

As many of you know, I am not connected to the baseball card market pre-2009. My specialty is this decade’s Bowman Chrome autos and Topps rookie cards. Outside of that, I don’t pay attention to too much else. Luckily, there have been a couple Instagram followers that have pointed me in the direction of a

I’m going with a different approach to this article. Instead of focusing on prospects, I’m going to tell you five PSA 10 cards of MLB players you need in your portfolio and why. I’m sticking to base rookies here; no short prints or parallels. I tried to keep the value of each card relatively low,

Of course I am going to be biased in saying this, but that was the most exciting and action-packed Opening Weekend I’ve ever seen. As a Brewers fan, there is no way it gets better than that, other than not giving up 3 homers to Goldschmidt in one day. With that being said, we saw

When looking at prospect rankings, I make sure to not close myself off to one source. MLB Pipeline is the most popular free source and what reflects card prices the most, but Fangraphs is another free source that offers a different view point. When comparing the lists, there are some major differences that jump off
