Just snagged a three lot of PSA 10 Bowman 1sts for 'ole Bobby. Hoping to look back at the purchase as a really good choice given the early panic going on.

And make that a 4th. I am becoming a bigger Bobby supporter as each auction closes!

If this slump lets me snag an affordable RC logo/auto card, I’m all for it.

Bobby is getting worse! He's now batting .087 for the season! People should of invested in Bo Bichette.

Is it possible to get back on the boat if you’ve already jumped ship?

I hope for the folks in this thread that the Bobby love boat doesn’t turn out to be the titanic in disguise.

Default Bobby Witt Jr. is he legit?

They got big money in him they are going to justify every hit he gets. He strikeouts out too much average is terrible and he's a liability in the infield.

Been collecting since 1985. You kids will learn you never know how a players career will go. Don't spend big money on newer rookies, most of the time you will lose it, but hey do what whatever you want. Going back in time I wished I listened to others and put my money into hall of famers and not hot new rookies .

I won’t go straight to disagreeing, but tell us who the HOFers were that people told you to put money into when you were younger.

Here’s why I ask… I started collecting in 1985 too, and HOFers at that time included people like McCovey, Yaz, and Brock. All great players, but if I was told to invest in them (and did) at that time, I would have missed out on the opportunity to put money into better investments. Now - if they advised (and you abided) recommendations for Mantle, Mays, etc - you may have done fine.

Just looking for context here, because there was a LOT of money to be made in prospects over the years depending on when you got in and out.

I think cardsude87 just cut and pasted his same response to George Brett’s 1974 season.

Also, as I’ve said before, you’ll never need to ask whether someone is a vegan or collects vintage…
