Card
prices are down across the board, and I thought it would be a good idea to see
how some top prospects are selling. Let's take a look at 2020 and 2021
products. I will focus on 2022 in a few weeks as 2022 Bowman Draft is still
fresh. Winter was always a good time to buy historically as there was no
activity and collectors were focusing on other sports. I am using recent
auctions on Ebay for analysis. I will be mostly look at base, but I also have
looked at PSA 10s and other sales.
2020 Bowman Draft Baseball
Note - This draft class is pretty good overall compared to recent
classes.
Heston Kjerstad -
Baltimore Orioles OF - Selling for around $75. Had a huge Arizona Fall
League.
Jordan Walker - St.
Louis Cardinals 3B - Walker is such a stud that I could not find any sales.
Everyone is holding.
Ed Howard - Chicago
Cubs SS - Prices have crashed as he has struggled. People overpaid and are
scared to sell so they are holding. Still time though to get better.
Austin Hendrick -
Cincinnati Reds OF - Similar to Howard. No one is really selling as they
overpaid.
Zac Veen - Colorado
Rockies OF - I'm seeing base go for about $100 maybe less at a show.
Tyler Soderstrom -
Oakland Athletics C - I've seen about $75 for Tyler sometimes lower. He's a
stud.
Pete Crow-Armstrong -
New York Mets OF - Now with the Cubs and prices are up as he had a really good
season. I'm seeing refractors go for $200. Not much base out there.
Evan Carter - Texas
Rangers OF - Base is going for $100 and refractors are double.
Nick Gonzales -
Pittsburgh Pirates SS - Not a ton of base out there. Prices seem low to me.
Watch out for future auctions.
Nick Yorke - Boston
Red Sox 2B - Big time price correction here. His cards were hot then he started
to struggle. Combine that with a slowing market and you got a card that has
lost a ton of value.
Robert Hassell -
San Diego Padres OF - Base is going for around $100.
2020 Bowman Chrome Baseball
Luisangel Acuña -
Texas Rangers 2B/SS - Another correction. In that $50-$75 range.
Logan O'Hoppe -
Philadelphia Phillies - Now on the Angels. Around $40.
Francisco Alvarez -
New York Mets C - Base is high. Well over $100. Being a Met helps.
2020 Bowman Baseball
Anthony Volpe - New
York Yankees SS – Prices are high. Very high.
Brennen Davis -
Chicago Cubs OF – Top org prospect that is selling for about $40.
Jasson Dominguez -
New York Yankees OF – Oh man. Prices have crashed for this guy. His PSA 10 base
auto is selling for about the same price as Volpe. I would rather buy Volpe
right now.
Bobby Witt Jr. -
Kansas City Royals SS – PSA 10 base is around $1000.
2021 Bowman Draft Baseball
Jay
Allen - Cincinnati Reds OF - The base that I did see was around
$25-30. That's a great price if you like him as a prospect.
Christian
Encarnacion-Strand - Minnesota Twins 3B - Seen low as $30 but
high as $50. Maybe people are not convinced.
Jordan Lawlar -
Arizona Diamondbacks SS - Around $250 I'm seeing. I cant be mad at that
price.
Marcelo Mayer -
Boston Red Sox SS - In that $200 range. I think I am higher on Lawlar.
2021 Bowman Chrome Baseball
Carlos
Colmenarez - SS (Rays) - Prices are around $30. Good time
to buy before the season. Do you research though.
Cristian Hernandez -
SS (Cubs) – Prices around $100. Cubs effect.
2021 Bowman Baseball
Johan
Rojas - Philadelphia Phillies OF
– I've see $20-30. I think that is very fair.
Hedbert
Perez - Milwaukee Brewers OF –
I've seen $15-20. These were going for $100 at one point.
Yoelqui Cespedes - Chicago White Sox OF - See above.
