Are we selling or buying? Sell the Cubs stuff for sure right? Did his Debut get pumped yet? Or is #670 the king?

His S2 “rookie” sucks. Follow thru cards = GARBAGE! His Rookie Debut is the business, though. Goble those up immediately. Swinging RD is the the true rookie.

Another bomb. Having a VERY good offensive season. White Sox lineup is no joke.

Eloy having great season! Love watching the Sox! Eloy doesn’t get enough credit and sneaky undervalued right now

From what have seen I really rate him and he seems like a great team player too. To add to the debate about what rookie cards people prefer, I like the Sapphire edition card.

I gave in and bought a sapphire for 135 today. Seems cheap for what other guys are going for, and he's putting up some serious numbers so far this year. I really didn't think he'd figure things out so quickly

I also just bought one, paid $160 though, were you the $189.99 BO sale?

But I wholeheartedly agree, seems undervalued.

My small stash is 2 S2 Golds (one psa 9), TC ref, TC purple ref and a sapphire

As an aside, there was a lot of 2 for sale as well, but it seemed odd to me that he described them as both gradeable, and yet hadn't graded them but had a lot of other graded cards for sale. They sold today as well

Hmmm ya I think that was me. I forget what the original asking price was but that sounds about right.

Oh wow looks like a bunch sold today. He's picking up steam!

It’s taking an MVP type season just to receive a little attention. Hype has yet to come but it will....

Yep. Remember—the majority here still seem to think he’s a .260 hitter! He was a .311 hitter in over 400 minor league games—mostly due to a slow start...in rookie ball...6 seasons ago...
He hit .337 in 2018... BUT...seeing him at .267 in his first taste of MLB action at age 22...people have him pegged there for good.

Defense might keep him out of the MVP discussion, but offensively, he’s putting up the numbers. He hits with tremendous power to all fields. IMO, his skill set plays much closer to JD Martinez than Kris Davis...Nelson Cruz floor. A full 162-game season expectation of .290/40+/110+ seems more and more likely every day. Stolen bases keep him from Robert-land hype.

I think half his homeruns have been to right field this year. He just kinda flicks the bat head out and pokes it over the wall. Imagine if he actually got a hold of one!

I may or may not have an extensive and “expensive” Eloy collection. Sadly none of the major series 2 or chrome color parallels but still impressive in my opinion. I’ll share soon.

I don't have much Eloy but my rabid attack on Walgreens Yellow did lead to these. None are for sale.

Nice Arthur. As a Tatis collector and slowly buying some Eloy I was so frustrated no Walgreens S2 last year. I love the look but never bought the RD update Tatis last year. Missed the boat now. Nice pickups.

Eloy is a train wreck in LF admittedly, but have confidence he can become serviceable. That said, anyone who thinks that Eloy is going to be a 260 hitter simply hasn’t watched him. He can hit to all fields, and INTENTIONALLY doesn’t pull the ball. He has all fields power and hits more HR to center and right then he does left.

The kid can simply rake and has some of the best power in the MLB.

I drafted Eloy 5 years ago in one of my dynasty leagues. I was so extremely high on this kid and said he would be a perennial .320/40 HR hitter. People thought I was nuts, but I got to watch him play in Myrtle Beach when visiting on vacation, and his bat to ball skills were just insane. It's almost like he doesn't think about where he's hitting it, but just to hit it. It's great to see him coming into his own and absolutely mashing.

Got these in the mail the last couple of days. Happy to pick them up before he started getting hot.

Ewww keep feeding bad information .260 hitter lol yeah right. I have alot of Eloy stuff. He has one of the best bats in baseball. If he can ever become serviceable in left field him and Robert going to make noise. Teams already struggling getting past these two. Way undervalued right now.

His swing reminds me of Albert Belle...a taller version. Belle's career stats were very good before his hip condition forced him to retire early at 33 (on track for 500+ hrs. and close to .300+ batting avg).
