That’s just nuts, no?

I’m seeing a few Yordans hit eBay with very low BINs. I think sellers are looking to unload inventory before the off season lull.

But no Sterling Red Autos!!

Agree though. Been nice to see some of these cards hit ebay.

Correct, nothing high end, but still some nice stuff.

It’s his swing! He’s got this funky little upper cut thing going on. He apparently developed it in between winning the ALCS MVP and Ws Game 1

Hype comes and goes. I try not to buy during playoffs. Easy for me this month, since my card budget is gone!

Assuming you're talking PSA 10, under $60 is insanely low for a player of this caliber. I think what we're running to more than anything is a race to the bottom with all the 2020 cards coming back from PSA creating a supply glut combined with the grim prospect of ~3 months before prices and volume start to pick up.

I think that type of volatility re: performance is pretty normal. Guy gets hot, his prices increase by 50%-100%, then he slowly (or quickly) regresses back to where he was. Yordan has actually fallen below where he was...which I predicted somewhere in this Yordan thread. I also note it as the third observation in this thread.

KhalDrogo · 11-01-2021, 06:18 AM

Yordan is a DH. He was in S1 and all the products. There will always be too much supply to meet demand.

Ironic that Snitkers son is the Astros hitting coach… just saying

Yordan will never be a player on par with the Tatis’s, Acuna’s, and Soto’s of the hobby world. Best case scenario is Nelson Cruz with less steroids and more hobby love. A David Ortiz type if he can stay in Houston for the majority of his career and have some big moments in a WS win.

seen it many times in post season MVP 1 series horrible the next

BGeezy · 11-01-2021, 03:10 PM

The detractors that were silent after the ALCS out in full force now, back to silent the minute he gets hot again and the cycle continues. So predictable.

Here's the Indy:

Got this in today. I'm very happy that these kind of cards don't go for way more being that they're from a super high end brand. On Card Auto and nice looking patch numbered to 10. Hands down my best Yordan now in my collection.

Nice one! I really like purple parallels on Yordan cards. Something about the Houston blue and orange works well with purple for me.

I'm seeing more Frank Thomas great if he can lock in a position on the field. I see how you slyly accused him of PED's though. Did he test positive in the minors? I look at his build and I don't see it.

Tatis isn’t on par with Soto because he does have WS success IMO. Tatis hasn’t done anything to justify his prices

There are the plans to move him to 1B after Yuli moves on. I've always gotten Frank Thomas vibes as well.

He has no steroids in his past, I'm hoping they just worded that poorly.

bloodwings19 · 11-01-2021, 06:22 PM

Yordan has never played OF in the cold, ever. This is why he slumped really bad against the Braves. Playing DH allows him to have full energy and concentrate. When he played OF this year, it is in the summer either warm, or hot. The last at-bat is the weakest I've seen Yordan ever, he looks exhausted, confused and looked like he didn't want to be out there. If Yuli continues his mastery of hitting, I don't think Yordan will be playing 1st anytime soon.

Oh, not at all! I meant to accuse Nelson Cruz of PEDs! I’m a big Yordan fan, and am looking forward to an off-season dip to add a few more pieces. I was just trying to say that if he can have a Cruz like career with no steroid scandals, he’ll still have plenty of hobby love, even if he’ll never be at that Acuna/Soto/Tatis level.

I can see a Big Hurt type of following for him, if he can find consistent playing time on the field.

Correct. I just worded that poorly. Didn’t mean to accuse him of anything. I was referring to Nelson Cruz.

Right, I figured as much. You've been a regular here, so I know you're a Yordan fan.

Yeah, Yordan and I have won fantasy championships together. Being in a trenches together like that forms a strong bond.. haha

eye4talent · 11-01-2021, 07:40 PM

Yordan’s potential is somewhere in the range of David Ortiz and Carlos Delgado. Had Delgado not played in the steroid era (and assuming he was clean), he would’ve been a much bigger hobby presence—and would likely have a lot more HOF support.

The next closest comps might be Jim
thome and Ryan Howard, though Yordan is a better all-around hitter than Howard.

While I think pitchers should hit in both leagues, I have to just concede that the was has been lost. It was lost a long time ago. It’s time for the DH in both leagues.
