Hopefully he's the world series MVP.

Maybe Merica will start to notice him.

I bought a ridiculous amount of his Bowman Chrome non autos before everyone told me no one cares until the RC comes out. Think I'll do ok though.

Not likely. Distributors aren’t going to allow that.

You don’t consider current pricing affordable?

ThoseBackPages · 09-10-2019, 10:45 AM

even the pumpers are not going to be able to pump up the price of 2020 S1 Retail!

crpav · 09-10-2019, 10:57 AM

Pick up a 2018 chrome auto they say. It's affordable they say. Not really.

The only thing I'm wondering:

Will his values be depressed because he's in Series 1 which topps prints a huge amount of? Including thousands of factory sets?

He's obviously going to be topps money cow next year. Oversaturation?

Sure, we can compare him to Acuna, but is he a 40/40 threat? Is that even a fair assessment?

I'm already thinking: grab rainbows and golds out of series one, and actions (if they make them) out of heritage.

so to answer your question there toward the end...if you're asking if Yordan is a 40/40 threat...hahaha. no. Yordan has a lot of great offensive ability but one thing he's lacking in is speed. Thus far this season in 71 games he has 0 stolen bases.

What he does have is 83 hits, 22 doubles, 24 home runs and 72 RBI in 71 games. Project that out over an entire season and you're looking at 189 hits, 50 doubles, 54 HR and 164 RBI. Assuming he stays healthy and maintains solid production numbers throughout his career, he'll eventually start drawing a lot of comparisons to David Ortiz as that sort of career DH type player.

An up and coming Astros guy who might....MIGHT be a 40/40 threat at some point is Kyle Tucker. Honestly though, I don't see it. I do think 30/30 is something he'll accomplish.
