Yordan Alvarez

Reminds me of how I kept staring at the non-auto platinum for weeks or months, and just wouldn’t pull the trigger even after it dropped to below $200. Glad you pounced!

Thanks! I remember getting excited about Brooklyn cards because of you. Messaging me (maybe this exact one) about a Yordan Red Auto. Seller canceled auction. And briefly discussing the Soto Jersey # Brooklyn in 2020.

Owning the Soto and Yordan Jersey # Brooklyns is a big collection accomplishment of mine.

Yep, majestic patch. Lucky to see it when I did

Pumped for Sunday. Just wondering what inning his hr will come.

This got my morning started off right!

(I’m predicting a 5th inning HR tonight in honor of this card.)

You can... you know... post a pic of it if you want.

Not like we get tired of seeing it!

A 3-run homer, to be exact.

Thanks fellas. Hoping we see Yordan add to that postseason home run total tonight!

Let's go Yordan!

[LittleJimmies]

Yucky game so far, but fingers crossed for some late heroics!

Absolutely, just don't have any illusions that you'll make money. I just feel the need to protect people from making a bad purchase because I'm sure many will be thinking about it if Yordan keeps playing like this in the playoffs

For anybody that actually listens to this nonsense, Yordan has been my best investment ever...by far. He is still paying dividends even in a market that is down 50% for BCA and much more for everything else.

Yordan is clearly one of the top investment opportunities. While there is risk, due to him being quite injury-prone, he will stay healthy for a full season one of these days. And when he does, it’s going to be one monstrous season that’ll send people scrambling for his rookies.

They might not throw stupid money at flagship PSA 10’s, but they’ll go hard after the cards we all know better to chase—like the low-PR offerings.

Yup. You just can’t use base and PSA 10 base for any kind of financial comp these days.

Probably the worst advice I've seen on this board. And this is why I'm here, to protect unsuspecting people from a guy with a huge Yordan stash to pump him as an investment opportunity. Astro+full time DH is a huge hobby detriment that these Yordan holders will not admit

That's just absolutely not true. He played 135 games in 2022(144 in 2021), had his best season ever and his rookies kept going down.

Yordan has far too much supply. Low PR doesn't protect you because there's TONS of low PR cards. He was in every set and 2020 was printed to the hills. Autos everywhere.

Protect them while pushing Purdy on them, while knowing those cards are being shilled like crazy lately?

I'm not sure what's being shilled or not, but Purdy's cards have about doubled since my call to buy them a month ago. Anyone who listened to me made alot of money

Or anyone who bought Purdy on their own. People weren't not buying Purdy before you came along

Lmao!!! You didn't know that there are people here, waiting for his "call"?

Of course, it doesn't change the fact that most of his stuff is up 100% since my call on Purdy. This is the Yordan thread though. No need to discuss my incredible football calls here

[Onepocketj]

My God. Please keep that idiot out of this thread. He's already ruined the other one.

Definitely ruining this thread too by calling Yordan the best hitter in baseball like I have

[Rabs]

So he’s sick?

Someone brought up 2001. The old saying "The cream rises to the top.". The most sought after 2001 cards for Pujols and Ichiro outside their two main autos are their Topps Chrome Refractor and SP Authentic cards. They go for thousands today. I'm sure back then they weren't overly expensive.
