Me either. All i can think is 90% of these “collectors” are day trading bag pumpers and have been getting slaughtered in the markets and come here to vent.

LOL! We’re unfortunately having this same conversation we had around the same time we did last year? This was around the time I started picking up more Soto cards I was missing for my collection. Then all of a sudden, some people jumped back on the Soto bandwagon, Soto was in the MVP running, and Soto was one of the hottest players to pick up during the off season.

Some people never learn that baseball is a long season.

Exactly. Also, even Ted Williams had an off season. No biggie…

Of course he is. Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn’t everyone like to see him put a whole season together?

I love the '18 On Demand. A couple on Ebay with BO. Sent an offer based on recent comps and both were autodeclined. Don't like it enough to pay what they are asking, but I'll add it to the list.

Don't panic. Those who are smart are gobbling up Soto rookies and or other Sotos for quite the discount.

As long as he fires up the stats soon like last year you're absolutely correct.
If not and he has a down year then today's "bargains" will be next off season's overpays by a good bit.
He's never been anything other than fantastic as season's end so I understand the sentiment. Hard frickin game though..
