No one needs to respond. He's just about a full time DH now. Can't win as a DH these days with how much pull WAR has. That's just how it is.

Oh man, this is really tempting me to un-ignore.

I haven't picked up too much Yordan so far this offseason. I picked up this this Ben Baller Blue /75 and the Ben Baller Green /99 in PSA 10 and a few $20 type of cards.

The only reason I'm getting anything is because Yordan is still my entry into player searches. I scroll the top 5 or so listings and when I see something I like, I put in a bid...which has been rarely.

Enjoyed picking up my first patch card for under 30 bucks
Crazy how expensive boxes of this are

Beautiful game used patch! I like how parellel the stitch lines on the patch are.

Yes, Definitive box prices are too high. Do not buy.

I've expressed my love for horizontal Yordan cards before. Well, Topps just made an absolutely perfect card. Sooooooooooooo cool.

Kid crying didn't realize he could relax! Yordans got it!

Great post also posting video link. Very cool moment for a Stadium Card.

Not bad for “just a DH”…

Got this in today, love the team color match on this

[Bambino22]

Love the sparkle and color match to the Jersey lines!

Yordan way out there...intersection of ISO and zone contact.

I think the one over .300 ISO is Judge but I'm seeing 81% z-contact% on fangraphs. Finding some other sluggers close to that 80% mark like Matt Olson.

One of the replies said the other three in the same box as Yordan are Mike Trout, David Ortiz, and Pete Alonso. Soto & Arenado pretty high out there too in the roughly .240 ISO range, high 80s to 90% z-contact%. I don't know all the names, but anyone approaching the upper right corner is very good.

Glad someone here picked that one up! Love the orange sapphires.

I've been collecting every purple sapphire, including Bowman, so I just picked this one up. I'm pretty sure it was the only one I was missing. So I now have 2020-2024.

Love plots like this. Scattergrams are used to find cheaters in poker. It's almost mathematically impossible for Yordan to separate himself much more.

Looking for 2023 Stadium Club Yordan Alvarez auto and 1/1 Gold Rainbow Foil. Anyone seen these?

PSA grades popped on a recent sub that had a few fun El Cubano Grande cards for the PC.

Just in time for spring training

2020 Topps Home Run Challenge Winner /37


2020 Topps NYC Store /99


Love the color match on this one


And my first 2018 Bowman Chrome auto /499

[NYBBFAN]

Ooooo that NYC store exclusive is tough in a 10! Nice haul.

[noaskiecards]

I was in the city and got 3 of the free promos, still have the trout which i graded psa 10.
Probably told the story before here , but I bought 3 toploaders from a guy for 2 dollars and got the tatis , bichette, and trout.
Do own a psa 9 yordan nyc.
Love the yordan bowman chrome ref, i own a psa 9.
Crazy how jackson holliday sells for double but one reason i got back into prospecting in addition to my yordan collection

Thanks fellas. Didn't get the most generous PSA grader but was very happy with the Yordan results.

Hoping this is the year he stays healthy (150+ games played) and really puts up some eye-popping numbers.

I’ve been looking too. None have popped up. No Harper autos yet either.

Don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Alvarez and having him healthy is definitely a great addition to baseball.

Upgraded my red ink PSA 6 to the pop 1 PSA 9. I think it pairs beautifully with my Throwback 9.

Those are nice n’ all, but when I saw your name, I was hoping for a certain announcement…

Unfortunately, I'd have to increase my already high offer to secure it. I just don't think it's reasonable.

Their exact last words to me were -- "I think I'm just going to hold on to it sorry."
