Baseball is so tough this year. No surprise but the wax inflation in the hobby across the board is not necessarily reflected in single prices for baseball. Sure the hot 1 or 2 RC's fetch some good prices but unlike basketball, HOF level vets just do not have much value. Which is (for once) great for collectors but makes an already risky gamble on wax even more risky. So it's ride or die with Roberts in the short term. The fact Topps/Bowman made Aquino a key part of their 2020 'portfolio' is not helping matters. Even they got caught up in his big month last August.
Never know though. Short term it is tough, long term we will see.
