Julio Rodriguez cards were super baked in.

6:12…. And those 2 HRs have both been on the road (Rockies in April, Reds in May) 😧 Could be worth the Diamondbacks shutting Corbin down for the year and get things right for 2025.

Great hitters don't take over 1/2 a season to 'get it going' year after year. Julio just might be this guy. He could probably use a psychologist more than another hitting coach at this point. Best analogy was from @g311music below.

Yo

Overkill on stats for Julio Rodriguez. Baseball needs to just get back to basic stats. Players today are more over toned with muscle, hence injuries. Not like the old days when the great hitters hardly ever got hurt or pitchers.

Jrod is like a blindfolded toddler swinging at a piñata. The jrod shit show

Card from thumbnail was gorgeous

Do you have a video for cards that have shot up thanks to 2024?

Same ol same ol with modern card collecting…unreasonable hype when someone comes out of the gates hot, then feigned confusion when that person inevitably comes back down to earth Even worse in football…don’t even have to start your career well, card prices are dictated by where you were drafted.

Great video.

I've been loading up on Julio cards as they've been a relative bargain.

In your opinion what would be a good card to go after of Julio with his market being down?

Great buying opportunities on Acuna and J-Rod, in my opinion. Those guys are top tier. Corbin? Not so much.

Corbin Carroll has got to be playing through a significant injury

The hitting coaches, instructors and coordinators in Seattle are awful. Why do so many Mariner hitters underperform. This has been going on for a decade now. (Think Adrian Beltre)

Great video Scott thanks

Dude...if you have other lights on in the room during long hours of screen time your eyes will thank you

Sports card suck. Why wasting time people. Rather invest in the stock market or crypto 😀

I'm still holding out hope for Julio. He got so hot down the stretch last year. He's so young too. But he's never going to have those monster seasons if he keeps starting like this. Carroll is a shocker but the injury makes sense. He did tail off last year. But if the shoulder is a recurring thing that's a big problem. He's a small guy too so the power might not come easy. I enjoy speculating on young players. Much more interesting than autographs and chase cards/variations. But yes, when you think about it how many of these guys are going to the HOF? Just look at the recent players we were going crazy for like Vladi, Tatis Jr., Bichette, and now Acuna. It's still early for them. I'm sure a lot of us were off the Aaron Judge bandwagon. But still.

Quality video

He has a noodle arm...hahahahha

Julio is interesting. People have been stating he's a slow starter for months but as you point out, it's July already. So, something's gotta change. That said, I look at Bryce Harper's early career, notably his age 23 season, and am reminded progression of young players is not linear. Still a (cautiously optimistic) buyer.

Did you end up getting that shohei card scott?

So Corbin Carroll has become Henry rowengardner 🤣 he’s lost his super power. Great movie! Rookie of the Year.

Julio Rodriguez is the one of the biggest crashes I've ever seen. Topps hyped him so much in commercials you'd think he was the next Ken Griffey Jr. Hope he turns it around but at this current rate we're looking at the next flash-in-the-pan phenoms.

Julio Rodriguez is like that one co worker who is always late does nothing for 5 hours takes extra time for lunch then busts his ass for the last 2 hours and somehow manages to get the job done!

I think Julio might figure it out.

I miss the rookie card videos for stars 😢

4:26 "Eight hundred bucks....that sucks" lol

Simple. Everyone is about the newest and greatest. Everyone falls off after the rookie year (not latest and greatest) combined with anything less than an MVP year let alone a decline in production.

how I see it -- Bad maybe if you're trying to unload JROD cards. It's good for me tho, cause I love him and believe in him and want to collect him cause I see him every day. so I don't really mind that his cards get getting more affordable atm lol

Good time to start hoarding those cheap Steven Kwans

Of the three, Carroll is the one to be most concerned about because of that injury and because he signed A LOT of autographs for 2023 products. Acuna has the positive of lower print runs in the late 2010s, and Julio's insane start to his career wasn't fully sustainable. A strong September for Julio and postseason performances will make the hobby go bananas once again.

Can we get a video on Bryce Harper Rookie Cards. I still don't understand them. Plus he is very much a potential Hall of Famer and I feel like his cards are confusing and underpriced after seeing Julio cards were selling for 5 digits.

feels like all the big stars are underperforming... lol... except 3 of them. ever since the pandemic.

One of the great Canadian players ever.

I just pulled #700 Wyatt Langford. 👍🏼

8:48 Is the Otani on the card considered a mistake? Weird that his name is printed like that on the 2017 card?

Nice find but a video about buying a card needs the price paid to make it more interesting

Did I miss how much you paid?

Congratulations!

What was cost of the card? You pay 10k or what?

That’s a real beauty ,congrats. I have a 2020 1/1 Walker, tho not nearly as significant as yours! Thanks for sharing.

Grats on attaining one of your 'grail' cards! Enjoyed the story behind getting you to the card. 😎

June 30 2024. I just sent in a submission, and it's not even a question. PSA looks cheap, and the price was 25 per card. SGC looks much better and costs 15 per card and only takes a few weeks while PSA takes 4 months. SGC all day

I just submitted my first 5 cards and went with SGC. For me, it came down to turn around, and in my opinion, a MUCH better looking slab. Price was about half per card. I just can't see anything from PSA that would make them a better choice

Love the Monty Python themed thumbnail! Well played Scottie.

love your collection i started when i was in the 5th grade it took me til this year to fully review my baseball card collection and liquidate doing so I am now focusing on collecting hits like relics and sigs , Serial number cards, vintage(1970-1986), rookies and base that I want to hold onto now and maybe sell them in the future

Congratulations on a great pickup. As a cards fan living in STL when he came, we universally loved Larry Walker.

My affordable grail is the 2019 topps heritage Bryce Harper throwback variation
