Cody Bellinger
 

I know the hobby hates him now, but still has one of the purest swings I have seen. He is off to a hot start. Doubt his cards will ever rebound .. could be wrong thoughts?

Him and Buxton will make a hell of a team for the most hated

I bet Bellingers card prices rebound significantly... He is on a Top 5 team for card prices and fan base. He is still extremely young.

They may not go back to the top again but they can see drastic movement

I don't care where his prices go. I love watching him play, and especially when he swings. It's beautiful, lol...

The hobby will always have new darlings, if he produces, I'll be happy.

Damn... I sold his PSA 10 Bowman red too cheap!

Sitting on a decent stash of higher end cards.

He’s super popular in LA..also has the #14 top selling jersey in MLB. I know that’s not the same as card popular, but if he performs I think the potential is there for prices to rebound. A lot.

This thread needs pics

He still has a very reasonable chance to get to 100 career HR before his 25th birthday. Not too shabby

So far this season, it's been Yeli and Belli.
Both hitting .500 with 4 homers in 4 games, but Cody could get at least one more at-bat today to go for 5.

Funny how fast so many gave up on him

i wouldn't call his swing pure tho. violent maybe...........and great

Looks like he’s changed his approach too- not swinging for the fences every at bat. Great at bat today in the 8th inning just staying alive. Eventually got on base and scored the tying run. Let’s see if he can sustain, if so, he’s young enough for his cards to rebound significantly.

Someone just bought all the green BC gems for $1100-1200 and a purple for $855 it looks like. That’s a big jump from a few weeks ago.

His TC RC Autos also jumped nearly 50% already. My guess is his base make their way to $100 very very quickly again

I don't think most people gave up on him... just the ones that bought at peak and thought he was going to hit 50 in his sophomore season. His numbers last year weren't bad, he just came back to earth as the league adjusted, which is to be expected. The same could happen with Acuna, although he has the speed factor to make up for it to a degree.

He's still very young on one of baseball's most popular teams. What's not to like? I'm still holding him and expect a big 2019.

Most of my Bellinger junk just got cleaned up on COMC, when he starts sucking again Ill be happy, lol

can he save 2017 Heritage Hi#? :cry:

[QUOTE=kyle1707;14528441]Funny how fast so many gave up on him[/QUOTE]

They will be in here shortly to bash on him

Pure swing? The one that got massively exploited by the Astros in the WS two years ago? I admit to not watching a lot of Dodgers games but he had a massive hole in his swing, if he fixed it great but pure that swing is not.

Well, his NLCS MVP award from last year notwithstanding, Bellinger's a mere 20 for 116 in the playoffs with 45 k's and only 8 walks, basically a difference of 100 points off his batting average from the 2017 and 2018 regular seasons. 35 or so bombs in 2019 would be most welcome for Dodger fans, but Cody's definitely got to improve from his past performances come playoff time to truly relight his hobby fire in the larger sense.

Huge fan of Belli. Didn't get too into his cards, though I have one or two. But he's fun to watch. Kid's not even 24 and he had over 60 home runs over his first 2 seasons

Hey, how 'bout that Goldschmidt! Wow. :)!

Fair enough.
It's been all Yeli, Belly, and Goldy (with honorable mentions for Joc 'n Krush)!

This is my best bellinger card! Go him! Heritage high mini out of 100. Pulled it in a hanger pack.

I have a 2017 Walmart Holiday Snowflake RC Auto redemption I found rummaging through my stuff. Finally submitted it. Thank God it was still good.

Belly's grand slam tonight gives him the NL lead in hits, homers, and RBI, and has him only behind Freeman and Wong in average.

He just missed another.

*Franco

Only 6 hits for Maikel, but also 6 walks, for a sparkling .545 average.
I stand corrected. Franco also homered in both games I saw him play in person (at Dodger Stadium, one in 2016 and one in 2017).

buy buy buy sell sell sell

Should have bought more 17 HHN when it was $49

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda! Welcome to Baseball! :)

[QUOTE=kyle1707;14528441]Funny how fast so many gave up on him[/QUOTE]

Is he even 25 yet?

His rookies on COMC have gone up 200-300% over the last week...dang

How is his update chrome xfractor auto doing.

Sold away his Heritage Chrome RC for cheap in the offseason :(

What's funny is like a lot of people I was chasing Judge for my pc Bellinger and Benintendi just seemed to come to me more often than Judge.

#whathaveyoudoneformelately

I'll hate him until I get my 2017 Topps Gallery RC auto redeemed......it's been close to a year and a half now.....seems like he's signed every other Topps product from 2017.

those of you that held should take this opportunity and unload now!

[QUOTE=rainmaker;14535377]those of you that held should take this opportunity and unload now![/QUOTE]

Agreed very rarely does a second chance come along.

[QUOTE=rainmaker;14535377]those of you that held should take this opportunity and unload now![/QUOTE]

Can you see into the future?

Does he do well or not if so....

I know it's still super early, but I like that he's only had 3 k's in his 6 games so far this year, so he's basically at a pace of 81 strikeouts for the season. If he could go on to pretty much cut his strikeout rate in half from his first two seasons, that could really goose his other numbers this year.

Maybe he got rid of that hot supermodel girlfriend and could concentrate totally on baseball..

who's his supermodel girlfriend?

Glad I still have a stack of psa 10 Base rookies! Unfortunately I sold most of the best ones, but still have some Topps Chrome

[QUOTE=Rjk214;14535422]Can you see into the future?

I thought only reality matters? The "reality" is he is raking now, so who cares about the future right

I love Bellinger but you better believe I am selling right now

Can’t believe how fast these spiked. I sold 3 BC gems and they literally went up like 50% from packing them up to buyer receiving them.

Thread needs more pictures

Topps Chrome RC PSA 10

Bowman Best Purple RC /250

I used to own his 2013 Elite Extra Edition rookie black status auto. Won it at auction for $350, i think in late 2016...right before his big debut!

pic is stuck in Photobucket RIP

I just sold a ref 9.5 of him for 850, yet no love for his heritage red ink? It’s almost selling for the same price. Why is that?

3 games in Colorado, 2 righties starting for the Rockies. I think holding until Monday morning may be rewarded.

You the man, nice observation.

In addition to being something of a Bellinger fan, I just think this particular card is gorgeous. I'm a casual collector. So, I really enjoyed this pull when I bought the box for $60!

BOMB #6

Feels like 2017 all over again.

Watching the game and the broadcasters are pointing out that his swing is much more compact. Sure looks like it from his at bats today. He used to have such a gargantuan uppercut swing.

Damn it was waiting till Saturday to play my home run challenge card, might wait till next month at this rate it will be a high print run.

I am almost done nearly tripling up on Bellinger. Sure, could have waited. But I'll take a 300% return any old day.

Nice, I have a few decent cards to unload but I will wait another week or so.

TC shiny stuff!

I still need a TC RC auto if anyone's selling high :)
