Yordan Alvarez - Page 244

Archangel1775 · 10-14-2022, 12:57 AM

I do hope that he keeps his cardio up. I also believe he's a better hitter than Ortiz but I'm good with the comparisons.

His values not jumping up this season was more just a factor of the decline in the market overall. He did a great job to keep things steady.

Soon enough I'll have more precise numbers, but I'd say Yordan is up 40% on the year (selling at over 2x right now) in a market that is down 40%.

1.4/0.6=2.33x

So he's up a little over double relative to the rest of the market. Of the 68 guys in my Price Index, it is likely that only Aaron Judge has done better.

He looks really bad trying to field up against that wall the last two playoff games. They either need to give him a ton of practice on that in the off season or just make him a DH if someone can do it better.

Offense-wise, he's a monster.

I can attest to this. I had 4 years of Spanish in high school. When I was in the Navy, I was stationed in Spain for 2 years. Even at the end of the 2 years I could read Spanish a lot better than I could interact live in a conversation. And when they are speaking to you, it seems so fast because your brain isn't used to that language and has to process it.

gmoney328 · 10-14-2022, 07:09 AM

Man this dude can HIT! Who cares what language he speaks? I'm a Red Sox fan, and even I can marvel at the wonder that is Yordan Alvarez. I'm still in awe of that missile he hit the other day.

wrswinney · 10-14-2022, 07:33 AM

The handful of times I've saw him interviewed by the local media he does the majority of the interview in Spanish but towards the end he tells his interpreter that he wants to answer some in English.

A lot of the comments are because he's an Astro and I get the hate but the "he needs to speak English" comes across as complaining cause of other reasons that aren't baseball related.

Just picked up 3 of the graded ref autos to go with my gold right before the big 2 games (1 ref incoming)
Topps chrome rc auto is truly the flagship rc auto
They have ticked up maybe in the 200 range since the last 2 games from around 150, still pretty cheap comparing to tatis etc

Beautiful cards Noaskiecards!

Is that gold serial number 22 by chance? If so, we need to talk!

You don't have a choice, you're stuck with both

Language is not an issue with Ohtani.

How come you guys making it a bid deal with Yordan Alvarez?

Bambino22 · 10-14-2022, 06:55 PM

Looks like 28k for the red 2018. Pretty strong sale. I wonder if that was the raw one sold over a year ago for under 5k.

You mean the one with the re-done auto? That was sold on PWCC recently.

Poor suckers.

Is that the same one? The one sold on ebay has a pretty bad auto.

Either way, sucks if that is true.

Yeah they used BAS, it's the same card. I have a screen shot of it on my IG from when it was on PWCC.

It's pretty clearly his new auto (2022 version) so it had to be wiped and re-signed because it's nothing like any of his 2018 autographs.

Damn, a PSA 9 Topps Chrome Orange Refractor went for just $408 on PWCC tonight. Someone got an amazing deal.

blackandgold · 10-17-2022, 07:31 AM

For the 2020 series 1 card (276) Can you pull variations in retail packs?

That is a pretty good deal. I got my psa 9 orange exactly for 400$ last December.

Doesn't seem like a cheap price at all

Has shown up. I guess the extra time off didn’t hurt his performance. Nice to not hear excuses about a layoff when a player performs in the clutch!
