Criminally undervalued cards

[oldgoldy97]

I’ll preface this post by stating that I own the card in question.

How can a 2013 Trout Finest Masters Refractor insert not be a $1K+ card? There are only 50. 50! The only parallel is the super and an auto.

It’s a great looking, rare, early insert of the most valuable player.


What cards do you think are undervalued?

Hank Aaron RC

[speedyjg13]

2011 Bowman Sterling Mike Trout Auto. Only 109 of them and its one of only 2 Trout RC autos.

He really is ridiculously undervalued.

Pretty much anything Arenado, Goldschmidt, Votto or Freeman (and I own none of these players). For some reason, hobby has just never embraced them fully and I feel like their values are lower than where they should be.

Frank Robinson cards.

I agree, although I think Freeman has increased significantly over the last year (at least in my view). I also echo the Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron sentiments. I recently picked up a psa 1.5 Aaron rc for way less than a Trout update. It just doesn’t compute, but sure was glad to add it to my collection!

Yep. This.

[LVDan]

For current players the old story remains: baseball good doesn’t equal hobby good. A few guys with RCs in the last 5 years come to mind:
Trevor Story
Max Muncy(the dual RC is a killer)

It gets tricky for super new stuff because everything seems so high but $1 for Dustin May flagship seems low compared to others.

Or most new stuff is ridiculously overvalued. The vintage stuff has been stable for a long time, going up steadily but not quickly over time. New stuff fluctuates every month (except Trout). Probably more about the insane prices for 10s and even 9s

Whats a Hockey ??

[Illustrious]

Ted Williams and Stan Musial rookie cards.

[7nohitter]

Definitely Frank Robinson, as Superdan mentioned...I'd also say Andre Dawson.

Was about to say the same thing!

I'd add Warren Spahn cards to the list as well.....

Picked up a 1954 Hank Aaron PSA 4 today. $2795. Prices sure have gone up... but lots of runway in my opinion...

2017 Bowman Chrome Prospects Juan Soto. My guess is because topps forgot the 1st symbol. How can a Tatis Jr go for $100 and you can still pick up a Soto for like $5.

How much are these guys supposed to be? Arenado's BC Auto is a $270 card. He's one of the more expensive players in baseball and for a guy who's perennially top 10 but really has no chance at an MVP and plays in a small market.

Goldschmidt already looks like he's started declining and he needs to stay really productive for 4-5 more years to make the hall.

Votto will get in but he's 36 and a borderline HOF right now WAR-wise.

Freeman is the best of the 1B but he's not cheap either. What's a 1B with no chance at an MVP and a likely shot at the hall really supposed to be worth? His BC Auto is a $200 card.

What's the comparables you can point to of a similar players past or present being more "fairly" valued?

Good one

[BBases31]

My vote goes to Jose Ramirez just because he's the cheapest guy that is most likely to be in top 3 MVP contention for the next few years. He's a FA after next season and he'll then be on a big market team as the Indians aren't going to pony up $200+ million to keep him

He's not marketable and he's the best player casual fans haven't heard of and that's why he's cheap I know. But he's on the path to a HOF career with the near MVP shot

Freeman 30 yrs old with only two 100 rbi and 30 HR seasons in the HR era also not spectacular. Hobby usually isn't fan of line drive hitters.
