You do know that these two, Yordan and Tucker, were nowhere near the World Series team in 2017, right?

They are "completely" clean

Archangel1775 · 10-23-2021, 06:33 AM

Still though, ESPN has Tucker's face on the front page. Sh*t kills me.

noaskiecards · 10-23-2021, 06:34 AM

Yordans a bust!
Can't hit under pressure!
Man astros fans are trying to buy all my yordan cards, you'd think he's the hitting over .400 in the playoffs or something...wait

It over. Move on. These guys are going to the WS and Alvarez win that game offensively by himself. He didn’t need the guys who cheated. Tucker punctuated too. Two guys that had zero to do with that. In fact Alvarez was in A ball and Tucker was in AA. Garcia was in the DSL in 2017. The “supposed” crap is old. They won and they are moving on. Yes the 2027 team is forever stained but this team isn’t.

Did anyone else wake up this morning, look at their large Yordan stash, and kick themselves for not buying more?

Hadn’t bought any but the pack pulled stash is still pretty nice, is now the best time to sell or are they still a hold.

Hold for sure, he could easily be the WS MVP, and prices I've seen are still lower than they were at the beginning of the season.

Hold, I guess. I’m not seller myself, but I will say that last year’s World Series biggest bump went to Corey Seager, and his prices remained strong all off-season. Yordan could be lined up for a similar run.

spuds1961 · 10-23-2021, 08:23 AM

Thanks for the advice guys hold it is.

Yaga · 10-23-2021, 09:11 AM

Have his prices even moved??? I see a TC refractor RC on COMC for $23... lots of TC RC autos for around the $100 mark. I would've thought after the series he had, his prices would be moving fast.

Been looking to add to my Finest Flashbacks stash but nothing has showed up the last few months.

His prices have moved a bit, but not a ton. What I’m seeing a flurry of active bidding on his current auctions.

Sstroh84 · 10-23-2021, 09:57 AM

So… sell or hold? Love Yordan so I will probably be keeping.

Those who aren't afraid to auction some stuff will be rewarded Im sure. So many people are BIN only sellers now. I think people's desire to "win" auctions of hot players is underestimated to the point that the selling advantage swings wildly the other way at times. I've had some great auction results in the last few months and also having stuff end later than would be considered peak time has been eye opening as well. Auction junkies stay up late until all the action is done for the day. Very similar to the strong west coast betting handle on late night Hawaii fb games. Gotta bet on something, right?

Didn't your team use a theragun on a metal bench to send signals? What the Astros did is wrong and fans have every right to be mad, but just be careful living in a glass house.

Didn’t you hear? Only the Astros are real cheats.

Yankees
Red Sox
Steroid PED guys…
All get passes as long as the guys are lived by the national media and collectors.

Only the Astros guys deserve to be in over by buses

This is an interesting perspective straight from Yordan on his knees. It just might suggest even bigger things going forward:

“Really, it was incredible,” Alvarez said through interpreter Andrew Dunn-Bauman. “I didn't really imagine myself being able to come out of that surgery on both knees and be able to do this as quickly as I did. So it was really unbelievable for me to be able to come back and do what I did, but [I’m] just super happy to be here and be able to contribute like that.”

The “winning” aspect is part of it. I think another part is that BINs are often very overpriced, and auctions are perceived as deals. This is especially true when the price is only run up in the last few seconds from snipers, which gives the appearance of the card being attainable right up until the end.

Theragun is the best. Pounds the tension right out of your muscles.

Tucker is as forced of a "star" as there is.
