Austin Beck is the Next Oakland A's Superstar

One of my favorite prospects in 2017 Bowman Chrome Draft is Austin Beck. Drafted 6th overall by the Oakland Athletics in the 2017 MLB Draft, Beck has some of the best overall tools in the draft class and is the true definition of a high risk prospect. His hit tool will take time to develop but if it does he will become a star. After reviewing pricing trends over the last few weeks, I believe his cards are currently overpriced and will cost you around $40 a base auto. In my opinion, the main reason is because he is a high draft pick and has been covered by major publications. If Beck was drafted in the second round prices would be half of what they are now. Overall, I am making a small investment in Beck if I can buy a base auto around $25. I expect dips in performance during the adjustment to professional baseball and will buy when others are selling low due to being impatient. Any purchases will be a long term hold but I strongly feel a big return will happen in the future.

  1. Found a 1/1 printing plate auto (Elite Extra) of Beck in a case of common cards the other day. I brought it to the seller's attention and he gave it to me for $50. I know printing plates aren't popular, and its not even Bowman but hopefully someday it will be considered a steal.

    1. It's a good buy. If Beck becomes what I think he could be you will make a good profit.

    1. Not a bad buy since the gold auto is high. Be patient with his development.

    1. Hello Anonymous. No need to apologize. I am here for all questions. Sorry for the delay in responding. The Bowman's Best auto is not a bad secondary card buy but at the moment Beck's chrome auto is still affordable in my opinion.
