I've shown my collection a few times but I know a lot of you have some great cards of his and now that they hype train in at full steam, I'm dying to see what you all are sitting on.

Can't wait for this kid to get the call.

[SirTommyWinAlot]

I got nuttin' and i'm very sad because of it.

[ThoseBackPages]

he has no rookie cards released yet!

I'll post my stash up once I get them back from BGS, hopefully tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing what everyone has :D

I have 0 and it makes me sad

[Jaypers]

One base up right now; sitting on two ref autos and a purple auto.

And a sealed vending case of '16BC, if that counts.

[shortstopguy12]

I'll play... I bought these all VERY early and for fantastic prices. I really want a Non Auto Color PSA - Preferably Blue. I sold a Purple Auto Gem recently to fund another big PC purchase.

Not as much as I'd like, but I'm happy to have gotten in when I did, even if it was a bit late.

Chrome looks nice. Might actually grade it. Studio auto was essentially free (bought it and another card for $50 total, then sold that other card for $50).

These non-autos are to be joined by a 2017 Gold Ref /50 from Chrome. Top left is a Ref /499.

I'm wondering how much of a zoo it'll be when NH rolls through Bowie later this year. Might try for an IP auto but that place can get a little nuts when notable prospects come through.

Sadly just orange Bowman Platinum auto. Didn’t feel like paying to play when his cards came out. Debut price looked to risky, but has paid off for the OG buyers.

I wanted to add one more card to my collection. This one will be here tomorrow according to shipping. I love the Elite autos, as they are much cheaper but very condition sensitive. His auto is also very hard to get a "10" on a sticker. When I saw this card come up, I knew I had to have it. Luckily, the seller was more than reasonable in his price, and I was able to tack on an additional 15% off coupon!

Last winter was the time to buy. Base were 85-100 and refractors 150 or so. I bought 2 refractors and a bowmans best gem (and wish I got a lot more), sold a couple but still have a nice refractor auto in the collection.

I've got 2 Green Bowman Best autos. One has dimples from dog biting mailer, the other has a crease on the back. :(

[shortstopguy12]

I added this one recently.. terrible pic at the moment. I really like the elite cards, and to find one /5 that is a gem is tough as these generally grade poorly. I got this with the 15% off promo so the deal was just too good, especially since he negotiated very well from his $999.99 starting price, lol.

A full season tearing up AA and probably AAA and a rise to undisputed #1 overall prospect and his prices definitely have a lot of room to grow.

This guy on ebay "beanz" has a bunch of the higher end ones. I actually offered him $1700 and separately sent him a pm saying this is $100 over the highest recorded sale, please respond as I will be out of the area for a few days. No response on the offer. No response to the message.

I'm not cool with that on such a high end card, so I retracted my offer after about 30 hours of no response. But needless to say unless the guy is that busy, people are not rushing to sell their high end Vlad.

I also sent what I thought was a decent offer of $1450 for the Blue back in March but got no response. I always wonder why people list cards with an OBO if they don't intend to counter decent offers. Even if you only intend to come down a little why not counter and send a message saying that is as low as you are willing to go. Otherwise what is the point of the OBO. Either way, his card his price but I would agree that he is certainly in no hurry to sell.

[shortstopguy12]

This seems to be the norm I am finding on anything other than a Base auto whichgenerally had a pretty fixed market price. The color stuff seems to be really hard to get. I have a Blue myself and will have a hard time letting it go, even at over "market value" as I am still trying to pick up a few things. I have always told myself that when I can get $2000 after fees that I will sell. Now that it is getting close I might change my mind, lol. However, I recently bought an elite gem /5 and I would have paid double for it as I really wanted it. Glad I didn't have to

I just personally think it is rude especially dealing with high end when you can't even respond to a buyer. 1st it's bad business as a seller because one day they may be the only guy will to pay for an item you wanna move and it's better to just treat them with respect. 2nd, the high end game is full of shadiness, I want to be able to reach my high end buyers and sellers. As a guy who has done several 5k+ transactions, it let's you breathe easier when you can trust the person on the other side or at the least be able to ask them something.

Yea I mean if you were going after McKay, Javier, Sanchez, hell even Eloy the market is more fluid but the top guys, Ohtani, Acuna, Vlad, maybe 1 or 2 other names, there is not as much wiggle room due to simnple supply and demand. Add in the fact that many of these guys holding their Vlads only got them between November and February and they may have bought holding for a Sept callup or even long term sell or PC. So it's a tough market.

With that being said, it's not like it's a red or super. If you are gonna put up with an OBO and auto reject any offer under $1700, then not respond when you get an offer that finally qualifies, I'm not sure what your goal is. Even if someone hits the BIN at some point it was just not a good vibe to several potential real buyers who got autorejected with fair offers.

[Triple B]

For some, it's a pissing contest. They just want to show what they have and eBay is as good as any to get eyes on it. He probably has no intention of selling.

Looks that way. Acuna is still more but once he gets called up, the ceiling is really high due to performance and the coverage this guy will likely get bc of his Pops.

You didn’t overpay. I was looking at that too.

Picked up a BGS 9.5 base auto yesterday. Centering and edges pristine, corners and surface a 9.5. Also, the auto is one of the nicest looking examples I’ve seen.

Definitely paid a big premium, but going to try to get it bumped. True gems, let alone true gem plus, are hard to come by. And only 11 pristine examples with no black labels. Compare that to Acuna who has 70 pristine and 9 black labels!

Thanks, I got it in hand yesterday and regret nothing :)!. It's my new favorite card!

I noticed that sale and scratched head until I clicked and saw the subs! It's a tough card to grade. Hopefully there is a fingerprint that you can simply wipe off, resub and get a pristine! Best of luck with it.

[sigmachi]

I purchased an ungraded purple ref auto during the 15% off day earlier this month. When I received it I was a little disappointed because a corner was a little soft and turned up so I knew it wouldn't be a high grade. But I just tried my best to smooth out the corner and sent it in to BGS expecting an 8.5. When I went online to check my grade to my total surprise the card got a 9.5! But it had a 9 auto...oh well I'm still tickled.

Well I get the card in hand yesterday and they put a "10" label in for the auto. BGS you silly rascals!!

Hope you get it squared away before selling....

Some pretty crazy Vlad sales in the last 24 hours with him mashing AA and eBays 15% off discount. Purple gems going for $1,200, ref gems going for $1k, base gems hitting $750, a gold non-auto gem just sold for $650. A lot of his Best/Platinum autos are also selling quickly.

[Triple B]

Had these raw graded today. The three Bowman cards and two Bowman's Best cards are all jersey numbered cards (ie. 27/50, 27/150, etc). Can't wait until Vlad grabs the number 1 spot on Prospect lists.

Had these raw graded today. The three Bowman cards and two Bowman's Best cards are all jersey numbered cards (ie. 27/50, 27/150, etc). Can't wait until Vlad grabs the number 1 spot on Prospect lists.

Honestly, it wasn’t great. Everything was overpriced and anyone that had ANY Guerrero wanted the moon for it. The good thing was that dealers were buying and baseball was prevalent. Dealers are smartening up.

[oddstuff]

Since he's a young player, the Jays aren't ready to put him at DH yet...his offense is MLB ready...but his defense is not. So he will probably spend the bulk of his year in the minors with a September callup...unless the Jays are in the playoff hunt in August then they may call him up for his bat.

am i the only one that is staying away due to his size? i mean he may come up and tear the cover off the ball for a couple years but if he maintains or gets bigger his success will be short lived. a similar career path to prince fielder.

if i were to buy it would be a quick flip when he gets the call.

[tedwilliamsfan]

His smooth swing cancels out his weight in the short term. I can also see problems in the future if he gets bigger. Having said that, I already bought a low end card of his that I needed today. I like Vladimir Jr a lot, seems like he truly enjoys and has fun with the game. I'm certainly a fan.

Sry to say but yes. He is not heavy to the point where it changes his promise. His bat speed, baseball instincts are among the best prospects we have ever seen. If he comes up to the bigs and Mo Vaughns it then yea that could be a problem. But if he is this +/- 10 lbs he will be a force.

As far as prospecting/cards go, anyone not PCing him will be long rid of his cards by the time he (possibly) turns into a slob.

[prospects]

ok then

[smalltown]

im serious though history does not favor an overweight player.

He's not that big. But if we say that he doesn't/can't control his weight. What's the worst case for him? Cecil Fielder/Mo Vaughn type? So 300 HR and 1000RBI career if he stays healthy? That's not exactly a bust.

I'm leaning towards once he gets to the bigs he starts to lean out with proper training staff and nutritionists.

For those of you who hate prospecting:

-Ronald Acuna is 20 until December.
-He was called up after going from A+ to AAA in one year and becoming the #1 prospect.
-He is off to a great start batting. .293 with 3 HRs in 14 games.
-His OPS is top 20 in the NL and top 40 in the MLB.
-The Braves are in 1st place in the NL East.

Guerrero's last BGS GEM auto ref sold for $1000 and (albeit a dumb time to end auctions and a $30 shipping cost to Taiwan) Acuna's sold for $743:)!

Risk vs Reward

Right now, at these prices, there is more risk in hanging on and hoping to hit the peak. It also depends on what you are into it too. If you spent $300 or less on the card and can get $1,000+, go get it! :)!

I remember asking myself the same question when Trout got to $500. Not to compare Vlad to Trout in terms of talent, but with the way this card is going, I’m not selling until the elevator is well on its way to the top floor. I made that mistake with Trout’s cards. Hopefully Vlad does half as well as Mike Trout at the Major League level.

I have been debating this for quite awhile now.. I have a base gem, a blue gem, and an elite gem 5/5. The Elite might actually be my favourite. However, the Blue Jays are my team, so my sentimental value of having these nice Vladdy's is getting in the way. I bought the Chrome autos well over a year ago, so the profit % is ridiculous. I literally debate this with myself every day. However, prices seem to be in a sharp incline at the moment and his stuff is hard to buy as people don't want to let it go.

[moosetequila]

Really all depends on how you collect or not. Some folks here hold regardless, I'm no longer much of a PC guy and flip for fun and hopefully profit. I used to be really auto heavy and now focus on color and RC's more... Constant evolution for me.

With that said, I've sold my only auto for outstanding profit. Could I have held on longer and made more? Most likely, but I will never be unhappy with this profit, and helps pay for my next trip already.I do not know how much you own, but if i were you, I would definitely sell some to make profit.

At the time, he wasn't even a consensus top 100 prospect (winter of 2016). If he was, it was at the back end of the top 100. Buying his stuff prior to his2017 production was a gamble.

Once he got a month or 2 into the 2017 season it was clear that the scouting reports matched his On field performance.

Just sold a vlad at my asking price. Very happy with what I got. His stuff is insane.

Wow...that's crazy! Less than two weeks ago they were under 10. There's so little of these available right now seems like a good time to lock in some profit.

[Shepsspot]

So I sold a couple weeks to early on the couple autos I had, but I dug out 4 Chrome and 4 paper from 2016 plus a few Mega Refractors. So is everyone waiting for the call up on minor stuff or just dump now?
Thanks

*Edit*

Just went through to see what I actually had and here is the breakdown. Another question if someone wants to answer for me. Is do I sell it all together in a single lot or break it into years?

2015 EEE
2016 Bowman Chrome x4
2016 Bowman Paper x4
2017 Bowman Chrome x3
2017 Bowman Paper x2
2017 Bowman Chrome Scouts Top 100-97
2017 Mega Refractor x3
2017 Bowman’s Best
2018 Bowman Chrome
2018 Bowman Paper
2018 Bowman Chrome Pipeline x2

Lol. scarily enough... it's not! Think of the coverage alone that ESPN will give this kid on callup, let alone if he performs. And unlike 99.9% of prospects you don't really have to worry about him striking out... nuts.

[moosetequila]

I sold two big cards I had the last few days. Taking awesome profit with no regrets! Anything can happen, freak injuries etc. His cards are way too high and my buy in was so little... Already paid for a trip including airfare, hotels and pocket change in the coming months. :)!Lol. scarily enough... it's not!

Ain't nothin wrong with that. Safe sales are good sales too! I was only referring to ceiling prices.

[Wolfie3300]

I am already doubling my "buy" price on his lower end stuff on COMC. He won't be called up this year, but hopefully some items drop in price. I am unsure if I will be collecting him or just looking for profit, as his dad was one of my favorite players.

I have a 4 card lot of Bowman's Best ending in an hour, including a blue refractor, and it's at 99 cents. So not all of his cards are on fire. But damn this kid is something special.

Probably the $10 shipping. I find free shipping works much better. People tend to bid more than the $3 you would normally charge for shipping.

$900 base gem!

avg. way down after tonights 1-4 1 RBI 0 K game, .400 now.

[hermanotarjeta]

A raw base chrome auto just sold for $665.

I believe that makes him the most expensive non- short printed first chrome auto ever for a minor league player who has yet to see the majors.

The previous high was a chrome auto of kris Bryant hitting $600, and I thought that was insane.

If he starts hitting like large-head Barry bonds and commands the respect of mlb pitchers upon call-up, his chrome auto should approach trout range in short order.

[shortstopguy12]

He will be consistently over $1000 for a Base Gem very shortly... His hit tool is like no other we have seen.. The power hasn't even developed yet!

EDIT - He hit a HR literally seconds after I posted this... Its the opposite of a jinx!

[Jaypers]

4-4 today; batting a respectable .418 in AA.

Yeah, I think this level isn't too challenging....at least for his bat.

[KSterner]

HR and he's 4/4 today... that front office has to start rooting against him if they want any excuse to keep him down!

[KhalDrogo]

Wish I was astute enough to back the truck up last month.

[mattglet]

Shh :) Tebow's in town this weekend. Let them milk the ticket sales for the next few days and then you can put him in AAA.

It almost makes me want to jump in at $600 per base chrome right now. I can't believe I just typed that.

Has to be around $5,000 at this point and that's with serious room to grow.

Last true gem Acuna went for $6250. Pop report has 31 gems, 4 pristine, 1 black label.

Guerrero has 28 gems, 2 pristine.

A true gem Guerrero should be close to $7500. Based on how the base sales have gone. I'd love to see one up for auction.

[steelers]

I would say $5500-$6000 for a gold gem with normal subs right now. Closer to $6000 after today

I said if his base gems touched $500 I'd sell... I said the same at $750... now I'm saying it at $1000... but $2000?!?!? I guess I could still hold my blue gem. I sold a purple gem in the off season for $650.. I had $112 into it. So I've realized some profit..

Read an interesting article on Guerrero Jr. and basically said he could end up being way more known than Trout and Harper. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Vlad Jr. if he puts up Pujols numbers surpasses Trout and Harper's prices.

I'm just trying to stay even keeled about it all. He his just killing it, but the weight he is carrying now, could get worse, and so many that have killed it in MiLB have been known to fizzle when the reach the show. I have a sold a couple cards, still have a small, fairly nice non auto stash. I am not buying any more, especially at the current prices. There is more risk than reward. I will say, I am enjoying hovering over his stats daily... FUN STUFF :)!
