Without naming names, how is it going? Are the prices lower than expected, the same as during the season or higher than expected?

I'm seriously targeting two guys and prices are low. BUT, that is the problem as well (no one is listing them!). So, it's slim pickings especially for colored autos.

How about everyone else?

It's no fun if you're not naming names.

Or he has a huge stash of them, and he hates seeing them go for what they do.

Matt LaPorta cards have been surprisingly cheap so far this off season.

Few guys I have looked at are actually higher than normal - AFL performances tend to build hype though.

Too early to buy. AFL actually raises prices on many top 100 guys so I'll let you know in Jan.

I think it's safe to say I have the biggest Daniel Robertson stash, especially since I bought out the collection of the previous DR prospector. Once I finally get my hands on his Superfractor auto then I think I become immortal or something.

So I don't really care if someone sees this post and decides they want to buy his stuff too. Prices have been down for a while and I've taken advantage of that big time. As much as I love collecting his cards though, I can't wait to start unloading.

Aside from him, I've picked up a few Gavin Cecchini Chrome autos and refractors for some solid prices.

Robles prices have been lower for a while now. I think it's because he got hit by so many pitches (especially on the wrist) and struggled after playing so well at the beginning of the season. I hope he kills it next year.

I'm waiting for some Moniak singles from Bowman Draft. I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting to see how high his Auto's will be.

Overall, I'd say prices are lower than expected for most of the cards I'm after.
~Happy Prospecting!~

Yeah, because these were two totally unknown players that no one was buying or thought would be any good.

You'll basically be "The Highlander" if you get the super auto.

I must be the only one who feels like prices and current buy ins are high now, with Robles being one of the higher priced prospects. I almost always buy a lot but just came off my coldest buying steak in years. That Brendan Rodgers gold 9.5 going for over $900 was a shock to me.

Anthony Rizzo gold 9.5 sold for the same amount. To me, that is crazy to pay for Rodgers.
