My favorite feeling in collecting. Getting a 10 on a Yordan submission! Nice one!

I'm still looking for that license plate when I drive around Northern VA. Although I assume it may just be an art piece on your wall now!

Could do Yor-Gone or Yor-Done...on a plate....but that could backfire quickly!

Sold a few rare Yordans to a collector here in Houston this weekend. Hopefully he shows his collection here at some point. He has over 800 different Yordans.

Wow. I think I'm around ~200.
There are some hidden collectors out there but also some good ones on insta.

I'm still fascinated that his prices are so reasonable.

Agree- when he’s in the zone, which is almost always, he’s a high production machine.

Partly because he’s lumped in the Cheatstros from 2017. Unfair as it is, he and Tucker both suffer for that.

That's actually a very small part. Although agree slightly impactful.

Bigger reasons are:
- over production of 2020 Yordan cards
- collectors dispersing on purchasing ( I wish Yordan purchases were only 2020 cards, but everyone has different tastes).
- General market decline.

Understand your points here, but I think there are 2 overwhelming reasons, and what you have listed above are much less impactful:

1. Astro
2. DH

If he was a 1st Baseman on a big market Team, he would likely be Hobby royalty at the Soto or maybe even Ohtani level.

I forgot about the DH one!! I only ever focus on hitting but yes, he doesn't play defense enough.

He still plays LF at times. Totally wish he would be full-time DH.
