I sent almost three dozen last week. They were the copies that weren’t perfect in my initial screen. Didn’t even bother to look at them this time. I’m sure there are some 5-6s in there, but I may as well get them slabbed now for when they’re worth $100 in five years.

Depending on what your buy-in was it's definitely worth sending most, if not all, to get graded. I'll get around to all of mine eventually, but that's going to be quite the PSA bill.

Is it safe to assume that all US300's raw on ebay is not gradeable (ie should be grade 9 or less).

JRX · 09-29-2020, 01:16 PM

Not to take anything away from what Soto did, but I'd love to see his vs pitcher stats for this year. If you look at the top sp, he didn't really face many of them. I think he only faced Degrom in the last series. Maybe those pitchers wouldn't have been as good if they faced Soto, but I do think his stats would also not have been as good if he faced the pitchers in the central and west.

You should assume you're getting a raw card and there's no guarantee it will grade well, so buy a raw card because that's what you want not because you think you're getting a psa 10 for cheap.

Yeah need to see what he can do against verlander and cole type pitchers.

Need to drag ozuna, acuna, freeman over the coals as well. Cause the worst pitching staff was the Nationals.

So MLB does have this, baseball ref now makes you sign up for something. Here goes

Degrom: 3 pa 0H 1BB
Nola: 1 for 5, hr, 5BB!
Wheeler: 0 for 3 4BB!
Fried: 0 PA
Ian Anderson: 0 for 2 with a BB

These are pitchers he didn't face in just NL:

Darvish, Bauer, Lament, Burnes, Castillo, Marquez, Woodruff, Scherzer (obv), Gray, Gallen, Kershaw, Wainwright, etc etc

I'm still a buyer, cause I watched in the playoffs last year and the dude is such a beast at 21, but let's not overweight this year too much.

Oh same deal with the Braves, it so happens that most of the best sp are in central or west. Even the Mets had a good offense until they got guys on base.

i bought a PSA 6 Soto today. on purpose

DStars45 · 09-29-2020, 01:33 PM

I see what you're saying but I don't think anyone is overweighing him based on this year. I think it's more that he's 21 years old and has 3 seasons in the MLB where he's slashed a combined .295/.415/.557.

I agree, anyone that's 21 that can beat up the majority of mlb pitchers is absolutely legit and I think he's going to be the best pure hitter over the next decade. Although, Harper had his best season at 22 so who knows. I'm just pointing out that he really didn't face much in the way of elite starters this year.
