At the same time the reason I started collecting Tatis (despite the numerous red flags) is that I believed in his talent and thought he was the next Ken Griffey Jr. in terms of talent and hobby appeal (he is exciting and fun to watch). I was thinking that maybe if I found some cards I did not have yet that were 70 to 75% down from their price points I would consider...but then again...I tell myself despite the emotional attachment of collecting his cards it is a sunk cost and to move on.

Whether you look at Tatis cards from an investment or collection standpoint, selling right now is the best choice. It's going to be 3/4 a year until he has any chance to bring some positive light back to himself and prices will absolutely continue to go down over that time. If you want Tatis cards, sell now while prices are holding on a bit and then just reinvest in 6 months at half the price or less probably. I see his gem Sapphire still selling in the $900's and think thats down $300-400 come winter.
