Will This Player's Cards Explode in 2025?

- Every year there are players who break out and their card values spike. Bobby Witt Jr was an example of that happening this year. On this episode of Spitballin' Cards, we ask the question if Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the next player to see a Bobby Witt Jr. value increase in 2025. We also discuss Topps Dynasty, and much much more!
2025 the year Oneil cruz learns to lift the ball and hits the most effortless 45 home runs of all time to help jones and Skenes lead the pirates to the playoffs
Chris here - I'd LOVE to see the Pirates in the postseason. Skenes and Jones would be a nasty 1-2 and that city LOVES to support the team when it's winning!
Big fan of Cruz and Pitt, hope all those things happen 👍
Me too. I have his topps sp rc
In Japan card stores showcase pictures of the actual cards in cases. You pull the slip for that card, pay for it, and they pull it out of their vault. This makes sense to me to help protect the auto's from fading.
Yes! That makes sense to us as well! Plus just general safety as well.
after spending two weeks in Japan this year and visiting about 50 TCG shops in Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka I think I can confidently say that every single thing Japan card stores do is better than anything I've seen in the US
Fecal tractor /2 😂😂😂
It's not far off
If Ohtani pitches in the World Series, I will sell all my Ohtani cards on the spot. His cards will never sell for higher.
Chris here - I think you're probably right!
Vladamir is a Hall of Famer, probably 3000 hits, 500 HRs. He needs a ring, or at least more post-season. If he keeps that weight off, he'll be in the Hall. He had a great second half.
He's on a path for sure. Let's see if he can repeat his 2024 next year or if he reverts back to his ground ball ways.
He's so young - plenty of time for stat compiling and playoff heroics.
Thanks for watching!
That guy isn't getting 3000 hits let's be serious
3000 hits, potentially. 500 HRs… no way! He’ll be lucky to hit 400.
I can’t say that it will be the future cards but as we move forward I do agree as more 80’s & 90’s players get into the HOF it will carry the prices of those cards up.
Love the video. Keep these going gents.
Love seeing the kids and dogs guys. Shows how we all love our families and want to share with everyone our amazing hobby!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words!
Just by the thumbnail I knew that was Chunky kid Vladdy. Famous photo of him and his dad. I have that photo signed by both of them
What an awesome piece! 🙌🏼
That's so cool!!!
"Hot" take. Collect what you like. And quick flip to have fun and make a bit of money - hopefully. If you have no sentimental connection with a player or a particular era there's little point in parking serious money into it because there are far better investments out there than cardboard. Only park long term money into cardboard if you genuinely enjoy collecting it.
AGREED!!
Hey Jeff and Chris good luck pumping and dumping the 2019 Vlad SSP
Jeff: I just want to see ONE of those with a clean top edge! Did they use a cheese grater to cut those? ?
But, you’re right, it does seem that we appreciate these more than the hobby in general, maybe they’ll never really be the IT card for him. 🤷🏻♂️
Chris here - I'll pump that card all day. I think it's the best Vlad rookie there is. Not selling the PSA 10 on my IG though. Pump yes. Dump no.
As a 32 year old collector who has been collecting for about 4 years, I will say I have been delving into a lot of late 90's and early 2000's baseball cards. I felt even targeted with TY's Johan Santana call out. I think as people my age get more stable in life, reach new places in their careers, and have more disposable income, it wouldn't surprise me to see that time period get a couple a few more price boosts. Especially as a time period where parallels and S/N cards were so short printed.
The costs of boxes is ridiculous but that's because of the Breakers. Smart for fanatics to take advantage of the Breakers
Great conversation, as always. As far as ultra high-end releases like Dynasty...I think, sure they might be popular amongst rich people, but they will never be iconic cards because they do not have the audience. It's a double edged sword IMO.
Jeff here: agreed, Peeps!
Chris here - good point!
As soon as I heard Tide Pod say there is a 1% chance of Yankees / Dodgers World Series. Paused the video and put a bet on that to happen
Big fan of the videos, gentlemen.
Logofractor prices have been
50
65
110
These prices don’t include tax and shipping. 85% of ppl will have to pay shipping bc there only sold out of MLB flagship store.
For example. 4 boxes of 2023 logofractor cost $300 to your door. worked out to be $75 a box with tax and shipping included.
I’m on board with dynasty. I’m collecting the best auto or auto patch for all the 2016 cubs. Basically 5 star or dynasty is topps on my list. Just minutes ago a non-rookie Jon Lester in cubs uniform went for 341.76. I know this because I bid 511.76 and was happy it only jumped $200 in the last 3 seconds.
It seems like a ridiculous price for Lester but I searched all over the web and found TWO of these cards images anywhere. I wasn’t going to miss my shot at one. Now there’s another that won’t be seen for at least 20 years.
The truth about autos fading is that if you take care of the. They will last for decades and any value lost because of fading will be compensated because the card will be older. Other way to put it is would you rather have a babe Ruth faded auto 1933 or a base card in the same condition. If anything the price would certainly increase
I'd take that faded Babe Ruth auto ALL DAY!
Good point, but it depends on how faded the auto is. If it’s too bad and barely visible, I’d probably just take a really really nice base card for the same price. The issue we have now though is dealers and shop keepers leaving high printed autos in the light where they are easily replaceable. Hopefully they learn their lesson and keep them in the dark moving forward!
hey guys... one of the best times of the day... LETS GET IT>>>>>
💪🏼
🍻🍻
A very bad argument that has been said on this show is that autos are valuable because the player touches the card so I guess if it’s still encapsulated you still get that sensation of holding hands with your favorite players so you shouldn’t mind if autos fade 😉
The on card auto definitely adds a personal touch, and frankly I (chris here) don't even consider a sticker auto on a card to be an autographed card. But that's just me!
I don't think anyone has said that a player touching the autographed card *IS* what makes one valuable, but I sure think it helps the fan/player connection. And it definitely helps the value compared to a sticker auto.
Jeff, I LOVE your comment on a “utopia” marketplace not unlike the 90s. This is one of the reasons I don’t collect modern. For whatever my opinion is worth.
Your opinion is worth a lot! Thanks for watching!
They do make U-V protective cases that will definitely help autographs last longer..
chris here - still not sure I can risk it!
@@SpitballinCards i think WE are worrying way too much...most modern autos will be around alot longer than us..unless your displaying them on your window sill..
They'll outlast us , thats all that matters to me...sounds selfish , but oh well..
Love your guys show. Never miss it.
I will not pay the overpriced Dynasty rates for a card that has a 5% chance at geming. When Topps starts giving 2 cents about their quality control then I'll start. Also they are diluting the product with the print runs per player each year. Give me Luminaries all day! All are on card autos with a meaningful stat and if you lucky you can get a patch auto.
Jeff here: don’t know much about Luminaries, will have to check it out.
chris here - based on the centering of the sapphire gold acuna variation that hit ebay today, better QC isn't a priority.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Thank me later 😎
Please speaking for all dynasty collectors dont grade them
@@rickyboyd5315 Its principalities Smokey!
I absolutely think Ohtani will pitch in the playoffs (sparingly, mind you, not just start, but in relief he will. If the Dodgers do a "bullpen game", that's the only way he would start). I've actually been talking about this on other platforms for a week. He will be the "surprise" no one thought of, and the Dodgers will win. (except against the Phillies, of course.) 😀
Based on an MLB network interview, the Dodgers don't want to have to use him on the mound in the playoffs. But if they go deep and need the innings, they won't be able to stop him.
No way he pitches in the playoffs, they've already aid that it's not happening
@@garygordon3075 He's literally been throwing bullpen sessions.
Personally I would like a revenge tour for the Brewers of postseason losses (Dbacks/Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees) to capture their first World Series, but I honestly expect Ohtani to do something spectacular instead. The NL is wide open, and it could be an excellent postseason.
Jeff here: LOVE this idea, would be epic.
That one guy nailed it the whole show
OK video is almost done, PLEASE STOP TPOT....STOP. Every damn take was ypu comparing the following:
WRONG SPORT
WRONG BRAND
Today outside of the lil man, you offered ZERO to todays video.
Regroup, and please be better next show.
I think I will do a video on this. How you compare Topps Chrome to Optic, different brand, different sport.
Ehh I cant anymore with this
it has been my experience that cards are like women, i can only afford them if they are a little flawed. I'll take the faded auto and the dark roots please
😂
And the ones that are perfect are all doctored in some way 😂
@@scottiebcards2354 😂🤣😅
@@scottiebcards2354 great response to a great comment!
Hello Guys good questions Scott,I am an On-card Autograph Baseball card collector, the Indentation of an Autograph Card Signed by the Player touching the Card is my Favorite Cards to Collect,the 2 Cards I have in my PC,one is a Hank Aaron Five Star Ink Pen auto 5/15 BGS 9.5/10,the other is a 2024 Topps 2 Orange 5/25 Bryce Harper,Thank you for these Videos, Good Day Guys❤
Nice! Those sound like two beauties. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Chris here - Great pair of autos!! One of my personal favorite cards in my PC is a Freeman/Aaron dual auto. I'd love to pick up another Hank Aaron on card auto at some point. Congrats on yours!!
I’d love Vladdy Jr to rise up and be dominant. I think he’ll improve and actually has a chance to explode. We’ll see.
Edit- it’s really interesting to see his stats besides his dad’s. Good idea!
I liked this format guys. Kind of like your version of around the horn
Good call, it was a lot of fun to do. Thanks for watching!
If you look at the 90's/200's stuff like T-Pott does I agree with it. The old Junk has already shed it's worthless cards, while the Ultra modern hasn't yet. Ultra Modern will still have a ton of valuable cards. Every new era will have to dump bad players, bad sets, etc. before it levels off long term.
Everyone sleeping on Luisangel Acuna. He just came up out of nowhere. Card prices are going to blow up if they do well in the playoffs.
Nolan Gorman is going to break out in 2025
He’s definitely shown that the talent is there. Can he get some consistency?
I'd love to see it!
@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Gorman is very streaky and he needs to cut down on the strikeouts. . I think he tries to do too much.
He may only break out if he gets out of St. Louis. They have not helped him improve at all. He is basically Joey Gallo 2.0. He has the potential and shown flashes, but I have no faith in the Cardinals coaching staff. They are ruining Jordan Walker too.
I am concerned about how st louis develops hitters. Seems like many do better once they leave lately. I’ve watched a lot of Gorman this year because of Goldschmidt, and he is just so close to good!
No way Ohtani pitches this year - unless he's healthy of course. He's got 5 years of high level two way play coming up. You can't risk that if he's not 100%. Dodgers will be serious contenders for the next 5-7 years.
It would take something extreme to get him to the mound in october. The Dodgers GM was on mlb network a couple days ago and said they don't anticipate him pitching.
I have a clock signed by Anthony Davis, the 2012 team, and around 40 other UK players. Put it up in my office and then realized that was dumb as they started fading after less than a year!
Ohtani hasn’t pitched in 4-5 months and y’all think he would be effective
Pitching is a bit harder than that
No way he dominates pitching in WS
Been way longer than that since he's pitched in a game. But he has been throwing recently again. But yeah, they'd have to be sure he is really ready for game speed to throw him out there!
There was one guy testing how each card holders cut UV, and actually PSA slabs and PCA mags don't cut UV completely.
Only Ultra Pro magnetics cut 100%.
Test it, and you'll see what I mean.
At 3500 a box ...your pricing out 97 % of the hobby...who the hell is buying these boxes !!!
Amen
Vlad Sr. Has no hobby, why would Vlad Jr.
The problem with dynasty, only a select few can afford it, whereas chrome can be had by the majority.
@@jessicalightner7947 Jeff here: agree with this Jessica.
@@jessicalightner7947 For. now, Jessica. But Chrome is barely affordable these days. But I get your point. It's a good one.
Does SR not get much hobby love? Honestly, I don't know. I don't really collect him. Which may help your point lol
Ohtani is an 👽......90's inserts especially MJ are on 🔥, thank cajun cardboard.....love his channel love this channel, he's got basketball sowed up, u guys and stryker got baseball ...who's got football? Guess I need to start making vids and than we can all unite for a monthly episode , avengers style
👊
Chris, the fecal fractors come with added authenticated player dna, don't bad mouth them.
Please don't mention them in the same sentence as MY MOUTH!
@@SpitballinCards 😆
I have 1 Topps Dynasty, Riley Greene RPA to 10. I'm thinking about selling a tun of my collection and reinvesting in Topps Dynasty. I think its time to make the change before its too late.
A deep dive on the best players and their best cards from each decade starting in the 60's or 70's would be cool. This would also be content for roughly 7 episodes. Either way keep up the good work fellas.
Will Trevor Bauer card go up if he returns to MLB, and a deep dive in iconic player's RC is a great topic."like the one Scott did with Bryce Harper" thanks for one of my favorite baseball sports card content channel.
Thanks for watching! I don't think Trevor Bauer's cards would see any significant bump, even if he comes back to MLB. Please check out the videos Chris and I have done on the Blabbin' 'Bout Slabbin' channel on players' best RC cards, we've done several including Ohtani, Soto, Judge.
When a set is limited to only the marquee names it does not have the potential to be THE set. NT, Imac and Flawless, you can get a true rpa and have it be worth a fortune or the price of a cup of coffee at sbux. Dynasty is not and will not be configured that way.
Good point, Stuey!
Interesting...
Hmm, I get what you are saying, but I wouldn’t confuse Paninis money making habits to a “good product”. I respect Topps knowing this is an expensive product and only including household names.
I would like to see you discuss if it's better to collect topps/bowman chrome or their sapphire counterparts. It seems for every chrome product just wait a month and sapphire comes out with a much more condensed checklist of the best players. Are the base chrome cards even relevant at this point? Considering sapphire is more limited and printed on much nicer card stock and more eye appeal.
Chris here - IMO no, base chrome cards are not relevant. Not at all. Some of the parallels still are, but not money. Don;t forget, Topps Chrome Sapphire chekclist is the opposite of condensed. usually around 700 cards compared to the now bloated 300 from topps chrome. My issue with sapphire is there's too much of it. 3 Bowman chrome sapphire releases and 2 topps chrome sapphire releases every year. That's a lot of sapphire. Print runs ever expanding, even sapphire base cards aren't special at all anymore.
You;re right though. It seems like every time topps releases a new set, a month later a fancier version of hte same set comes out!!!
Jose Ramirez is on the verge of 40-40 on his 11th season, with Shohei hitting 50-50, J-Ram's rookie card will gain no value.
Jeff here: Agree with this. The hobby just hasn't warmed to JRam.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin It's sad they haven't, I have a video going up tomorrow before the games. I think my theory is also correct for the card world. Would love your input.
I actually disagree in some way. His high end cards have really moved this year. Usually the second tier will catch up over time!
@scottiebcards2354 i havent seen them move much at all in the last 2 seasons.
How much have they moved? What are counting as high end? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but with ohtani reaching 50/50 last week, come the conclusion of the season, I don't see his card being prized much more since this is the 2nd year we made a new HR/SB Club.
Good thing Mordecai Brown wasn't on today's panel.
hahahahaha
🤣
If the John Smoltz Dynasty is going for $250 right now, and keeps going up, it seems like getting a game used mlb authented jersey for $1000 is a good deal
Chris here - Id rather have the jersey i think!
Harder to store and display, but your point is well met and not wrong.
@t-pott4504 I understand game used used jerseys aren't for everyone. If you manage to get a lot of jerseys, I can see how storage might be a problem. If you only have a few of them, you can put them in a garment bag and put it in a closet. I think a game used jersey is actually easier to display than a baseball card. You can get the jersey framed for a couple hundred and hang it on the wall, but I don't know how you would display the card. Trading jerseys isn't as easy as baseball cards though
@t-pott4504 I hear you,if you get a big collection I can see how storage might be an issue. I think a jersey is actually easier to display though, for a couple hundred,you can frame it and hang it on your wall. It doesn't seem easy to display a single card. Trading and selling cards is definitely a lot easier though. I'm not saying one is better than the other, Like both of them
@@t-pott4504 Would Geoff have any interest in a 2013 BBM rookie edition box?
Mmmm. This is a comment prior to watching. Vlad had his true break out in 2021 when he and Ohtani went neck and neck for the MVP. His Bowman Chrome autos went for huge money in 2021 including a red which did 400K or thereabouts from memory. Then he went backwards for a few years and his card prices have taken a beating from their peak. He's had decent seasons but he's going to have to be better than 30 HR's and .280~ Those numbers would be good for someone who has yet to breakout but not someone who already has.. I can see a second breakout but it will be difficult to shift his prices a ton if the other guys stay hot. He'll have to at least equal 2021 or better it. And he's still fat and DH only. I have my eyes on Riley Greene as someone who has yet to breakout. He lifts the ball and could be capable of a big season. Unfortunately he's very inconsistent. If Tigers make the playoffs and he performs that might bode well for next year. Thanks!
Chris here - i think you're selling vlad a little short here. He's played mostly 1b but some 3b again this year. He's lost weight and is putting up near great season. MLB top 10 in:
Avg, OBP, SLUG, OPS, Hits, 2b, total bases, and a 6.2 WAR in his age 25 season.
He may never get to those 2021 heights again, but he also hasn't reached his prime!
@@SpitballinCards Yeah and it sounds like he's serious about playing 3B next season, so let's see how Spring 2025 goes...
@@SpitballinCards Fair points.
So if an auto is faded, would it be acceptable to have it resigned? Could even be more rare and stand out.
It sounds like another 90s inserts video is coming soon! Hopefully 🤞
I'm beyond happy that Stadium Club Chrome is gone. Not every set needs to have a chrome version. I feel that it watered down the regular Stadium Club release. I like having chrome parallels as inserts in the regular Stadium Club release. I feel the same for Allen and Ginter chrome. There is no point to it. There's nothing wrong with paper releases. Another great episode guys!
Well done 👍
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Fun discussion and thumbs up for the format! Ohtani still nuclear. Scott, were your tears after Mookie's walk off today a) tears of sadness b) tears of joy or c) both?
hahaha - Like the Dodgers announcer said today "Ohtani is inevitable!'
Dodgers bats all heating up at the right time for them?
Ok I forgive Tpot, cute kid. I love Tpot 😊
😂💪🏼
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Tpot owes me a drink. He is pushing hard to draw em in to the hype model. Come hang in my lives Tpot, or larger channels and ask what people think of that expensive Topps product.
I will add this to keep it simple because I'm a squirrel and my brain is all over the place.
If I had to spend 5k or 10k on a single player, top 10 or 15 in the league, my releases are Bowman/Chrome/Draft, Topps Chrome, Flagship, Heritage and Topps Finest. I'm not looking at Tier 1, Dynasty, Museum Collection, or anything like that for a big auto, parallel of Ohtani, Trout, Harper, Freeman, Soto, Manny, Jram etc. Those ones he mentions about Panini In them lil deal or no deal briefcases don't sell for squat and no one wants that crap for baseball. Get out and talk with some dealers because the stuff he says just isn't sticking on my wall. It makes zero sense and is a muddy pool of water when he tried 3 times to compare Soccer, Panini, Football and Flawless baseball to brands and releases that have been a staple in the hobby since they released. I am 101% all for an opinion, just don't mislead people. Be as wrong as you want on your opinion, but let's be real here with some data on how any of that ties into key baseball releases and the price of baseball has always been smaller because it's harder to manipulate the largest and oldest collector base being baseball.
Interesting discussion with Dynasty. I definitely fall on the side of Jeff and Chris. I just don’t think that many people are interested in relic cards . I bought my first one this past year and Its just a card that I ever feel like taking some time to stay with
thanks for sharing your opinion. Chris here - Just can't get behind relic cards. I'd rather just have a great image with an on card auto.
All it takes is slight hobby perception to change and the introduction of basketball, racing, football, and soccer will have a big impact.
Building off of the 'fecal fractor numbered to two' (🤣), maybe a fun topic to talk through are the worst parallels of the last 5-10 years? Bowman Lunar Craters def at the top of the list.
Green Grass!
Part of the problem with late nineties cards is the pervasive steroid use really casts a shadow on the era
Do you think it should?
Rate and debate
Great insights
Thanks for watching!
Thinking one step ahead…. If Dynasty starts to truly catch fire, then the equivalent tiers at that high-end level (Diamond Icons, Definitive Collection, Luminaries) will also need to get secondary heat as well.
Do we think Dynasty will sit head and shoulders at the top of the high-end in a tier all by itself, or will it drag the other high-end sets up with it ? If the multiplier between, say, one-card high-enders like Dynasty and Luminaries got too crazy, I’d see Luminaries as a bargain potentially. Or if both got hot, I’d then check out Diamond Icons and/or Definitive.
Chris here - this question is one of the reasons i Haven't gravitated toward these sets. I just think there are too many sets of essentially the same stuff.
I'll let T-pott or scott answer your question better.
I don’t think rising tides raise all ships here, there are 1,000 chrome sets and they aren’t all priced too high. I personally think they can be valuable without other sets matching. Similar to exquisite to other sets in the 2000s
I don’t know how the values will do, but if I’m going to own one card for my PC that I’ll show off forever, it’s a dynasty, five star,diamond icon or definitive with a great patch. Not a topps or bowman chrome auto.
Scott, the moderation was too heavy handed here! Were you guys in a rush?
Time is money!!
Actually, yes, we were in a rush in this video. We have a time slot allotted to how long we can record per week and we were way over. I wanted to get enough questions in to make the episode worth it.
When National Treasures is no longer a licensed product the most logical product with RPA's that are licensed it will be dynasty for basketball and football
Agreed. Will that draw attention to dynasty baseball??
Speaking on the dynasty argument, are there even enough cards of each player to meet demand for them To be the go to?
haha Cactus Jack and GPK I sell these cards when I get them
Seems like the smart move!
@@SpitballinCards I wish I was collecting in the late 90s and the 2000s instead of today's 20 sets of nothing. I stopped collecting in the early 90s. I think you are right about 90s etc being more collectable than today.
Even with Panini NT, and Flawless, Fanatics has already gutted those products by signing the QB’s to exclusives. Look at NT FOTL, Panini did their Dutch auction(which Fanatics has adopted) started at 8500 per box, went all the way to the floor(3500) Basketball will be the same way. Pretty ruthless
@bamaslammasportscards panini is so useless they probably can't wipe they're own a&&
Regarding autos, famous paintings get ‘touch’ ups. Would it be an issue if faded auto’s were ‘touched’ up/re-inked to maintain the signature?
Will Sapphire base cards be in 10 years what the Refractor was in the mid-90’s? Will it become the most highly demanded parallel of all the base card parallels much like getting a refractor was over the base chrome or base paper card in the mid-90s? Full disclosure, I believe so. There can be only 1 base card that garners the attention after all the dust settles and fecal fractors lose their hype.
Do you think Topps will move away from all the sticker autos I’m seeing coming from them? I feel like Rubin said he would like to years ago but it seems the opposite has came true…they’re using them more and more like panini does.
You are all missing the point, the reason boxes are so high in price is the same reason eggs are overpriced, we are in an inflationary period and the value of the dollar keep going down. I listen to you gentlemen to take the burden of a crazy ass world that seems completely out of control to keep me focused that we just might make it thru this insanity. The steroid era as time passes will be forgiven and those greats will get their due, a al Bonds etc. I went all in on Jesus Luzardo and my collection is down over 85% but hey, I fell stupidly into the pitcher evil cave of death. All the best and great topics like always
That's not the main reason
@@garygordon3075 would u like to elaborate?

No
@@t-pott4504 Drawing a comp to other brand, product and sport is a bit of a stretch. What would you buy with 5k, one to 3 cards all have to be rookies and an active player that has a legit shot at HOF.
You can do 2, one at 5k and 1 at 10k budget and still 1 to 3 cards.
Trout, Freeman, Betts, Manny, Jram, Harper. Those HOF trajectory pick 1 player 1 price point and 1 to 3 cards.
Would love to hear what you would pick.
(That should of said numbered card per pack* not box) in my rambling rant below, it’s irrelevant though, they absolutely ruined Logofractor & by the time anyone is able to get more than a single box it’ll be Dave & Adam’s who has thousands of boxes for $150+ a box, months beyond the initial product hype so the guaranteed devastating losses make the product impossible to buy… I foresee wax prices crashing in the not so distant future… Degenerate gamblers won’t even play if there’s not even a lottery ticket’s chance of winning
Chris here - this is a huge problem. More and more boxes get produced but the number of worthwhile cards basically stays the same - all the new parallels, even if numbered are just junk. Odds of success just keep dropping and the prices just keep climbing.
Pablo Guerrero
I think MLB will continue to change rules and find interesting ways to break records. It’s good for baseball. I think we’re going to see more 2-3 more 50/50 players in next 10 years because of the changes to pickoff/larger bases/pitch clock. A few years ago it was the juiced baseballs.
I can certainly see more players running. More double digit steals players. But another 50/50?? I mean is anybody even close?
Jeff here: Huge power and huge speed skillsets don't overlap in too many players. I can see more 30/30 guys certainly and even a few more 40/40, but I don't think we'll see too many more non-Ohtani 50/50 seasons in the next decade.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin I think Witt, Acuna, Julio, and Gunnar are current young players that have power to get close. The question isn’t about the 50 bags, I think we’re gonna see 5-10+ players a year do that. It’s the HRs, which I think all 4 of those young players have at least 1 season around 50. I would make a bet that at least 1 other player gets a 50/50 in the next 10 years.
I think certain modern inserts and parallels will be ok long term. Sapphire black /10 and the 2023 stars in the night insert from cosmic# stuff, only 3 parallels too. /10 /5 and super. I know cosmic is silly but metal wasn’t that cool in the 90s and look at pmg now.
That being said, 90s stuff will be better long term. Modern has to be bowman chrome first and 1-2 other sets. There’s too many options making only 1-3 really worth it. Which is kinda boring. Like I have a mookie 2014 bc blue refractor and don’t need much else for him. That’s kinda boring.
I agree with T Pot. Vlad is the Man.
T Pott won again he know his soccer it’s just to much a box come on.

@@SpitballinCards No, not for me. I personally been buying and selling a long time and have done fine without it. Have at it is what I tell people, I don't need charts and graphs for a card. Like when you went for the Ohtani, making moves and money talks. Comps are a good starter, but so much more to a deal than the sales data on those sites. To me it never can tell the whole story of a card, a deal etc. A low comp doesn't mean down market. Could mean desperate seller, low views, sold at auction on a holiday, auction ended on a weekend at 2a.m or a Sunday at 7a.m, so many variables and all these apps and sites came outta nowhere during the c19 boom. So many forums, person to person deals, trades, card shows etc that can add to that data but no way to track any of it.
Plus the walking commercial Geoff is, I have very little patience for it so Tpot is an innocent casualty 😁💥
I will always mention Market Movers. 🍻🫖
@@SpitballinCards Its a good product if your like to analyze data and trends. If people don't like it, don't buy it! I dont understand the hate either!
What seems like you guys don’t like parallels? I love them maybe because I’m a fairly new to the hobby relative to you guys but that’s one thing I liked about Panini there parallels and inserts. If TOPPs and Bowman stuck to the regular cards I’d feel like it the same product every year with different names. As a younger hobbyist I think it makes it more fun to rip. Am not fanatically stable enough to purchase any of the higher end products so cosmic, pristine, finest are super fun to rip to me.
Hey thanks for watching and sharing your perspective! There is no one right way to collect 👍🏼
Vlad needs to go to a new team. Toronto is where careers go to die
He'll be an FA next winter. Where do you think he goes? Imagine houston with Yordan and that short LF. Or Boston between Devers and Casas. Mets maybe, if Alonso leaves? Cincinnati is where his numbers would explode. It'll be fun to see it play out. Thankfully, he;s learned to hit in Toronto, so if he does stay, he should be ok.
@@SpitballinCards unfortunately I think the Redsox are ok with Casas at 1st and Devers at third and Masa the dh plus with a few guys forcing their way onto the team from AAA. I hate this idea but he could play 3rd for the Dodgers and let Muncy go. I'd like to see him in Houston if Bregman does't resign or 1st for the Mets if Alonzo goes. IDK should be interesting
I’m putting money on Alonso ending up playing for the Cubs. Would be awesome seeing him at Wrigley. We def need a proven 1B
@@pk3739 Oh man, the damage he could do at Wrigley...
90s and 2000s in the next 5 - 10 years because Gen X is at peaking earning years. The demographic shift to MIllenians will reach peak earning years may shift to today's ultra modern. Forget who said people like to collect players that they can watch or have watched.
Jeff here: I definitely like to collect guys I can watch play. Thanks for the comment!
unlicensed flawless baseball is better then most of these licensed products fyi.
Ohtani at 16:00.
