He was all over it. He’s destroying secondary pitches. And great to see him do the same for a fastball.

His voice, for me, is like nails on a chalkboard.

What’s up with the rotating 2nd announcer these days??? They’ve had a lot of variance the last month it seems

That was a nice HR last night...BTW, lost out on a couple auctions this weekend, and seems to be part of a trend that he's up about 20% in value this month. Also, there were a few wild sales the past week way over comps. I wonder if the cat is out of the bag on how good he is?

1. I lost out on a PSA 10 Green Sapphire Auto last night. Last comp was about $1830, this one went for over $2200. Considering how well he's playing, that seems pretty legit;
2. There was a Bowman Chrome (throwing) gold auto PSA 10 that went for $3300 last night;
3. A Bowman (batting) orange auto PSA 10 went for $7700 (!) on 6/5. This one is questionable but is listed on my CardLadder in their sales history...

Amazing what the Green Sapphire Auto went for... I remember when the red #/10 could be had for $1K

I can't find either #2 or 3 in terapeak or completed eBay sales... might be ghosts?

I wouldn't be surprised if those are fake sales. The gold Bowman auto ended late last night, so there's an outside chance on that one. But the orange auto for $7700 is so far above any comps (although I wish my orange auto was worth that!).

His heritage autos are up past two weeks (need to grab one before it goes up more lol), and his bowman autos are trending up as well. Totally anecdotal, but seems to be up about 20% from a couple weeks ago and more eyes on his cards on ebay

Amazing battle of 3B going on between JoRam and Carta these days!

Its been sad seeing his xwOBA tailing over his last 50 at bats, per Baseballsavant. I'm hoping he can wake up a bit, and regain his consistent hard hits, and low K%. If he does, we'll see him challenge for that top spot on this list within a month.

But what has been so nice this season: solid glove at 3B. Maybe he is proving staying power, and there won't be rising calls for him to become a DH. I like watching him play the field.

Ya - I just can't find that 2018 Bowman Gold Auto sale last night. I do see a BGS 9.5 sold on best offer on Saturday (it has not shown up in Terapeak, yet... so maybe not paid for???). https://www.ebay.com/itm/22502448195...gAAOSw0P9h08uy

For the orange, likewise... there was a fake "best offer" sale of a PSA10 on June 5th... and then the card was relisted for the princely amount of $11k: https://www.ebay.com/itm/39410443393...m=394104433938

Yup, I see that the Orange is relisted now. What some people will do to manipulate ebay! Yikes.

Haven't seen his defense talked about enough. He has a positive DSR for the first time in his career, and his UZR typically sits about -4 to -5, but is at -0.3 this year. Huge improvement on defense. Xander's DSR is better this year too. Story is really good at 2B, and as much as Bobby D sucks at the plate, he can pick it at 1B. The improvement at defense could unlock those 7+ fWAR seasons for Raffy.

With that said, I think there was a real $6500 sale of a Bowman Orange auto PSA 10 in jersey # (the Bowman Sterling insert version) back in May. Which seems crazy, too.

[soicanbefree]

Predictions on what this goes for? Since we are talking about Oranges.

Going BIG!!!

A BGS true gem gold #/50 went for $800 on best offer recently. I'm guessing w/PSA10 premium + yours being orange... maybe $1500 on best offer? For auction, I'd guess it still breaks $1K, but it might not get as high as $1500.

Hey guys. The orange was my card. Buyer negotiated up to $7700, saying it was his max. When I accepted, he started sending nonsensical punctuation lacking messages asking to cancel. Not sure what his play was. He had quite a bit of legit feedback. I didn’t get the sense he was pumping his own as much as something was going on with him.

I used that as my comp for my listing on the orange. Was hoping it was real.

Wow, then sorry it fell through! Hope the new listing draws some serious interest, as that $6500 sale looks like it went through. Maybe his card prices are really skyrocketing more than I already thought. Thanks for sharing.
