Baseball Players On The Ascent in November
A fast peek at the universe of Baseball cards in the past two months shows some attention-grabbing players escalating up the charts in the baseball card world. America's pastime may be on a winter break, but true baseball card collector's never rest. Bear in mind that we don't formulate the prices. We simply state them. Having said that, here are a seven players whose card values have gone up during November as reported by THE power on sports cards in this world, Beckett Publications.
-David Robertson, this 24 Year Old right hander from a pitching rich Crimson Tide baseball program appears to be a pivotal player in the New York Yankees bullpen this spring. As with any Yankee draftee, Yankee hurler, or Yankee in general. Prices will rise with the slightest indication of potential
-Josh Hamilton, long underappreciated, the slugging Ranger was the feel good story of the year of few years back. However, he plays in one of the most terrible markets in baseball (not to rob the Florida Marlins thunder). Nevertheless, some must be taking note of the fact that he is healthy again. It would possibly be a good idea for you to take note of that too. When this kid is strong, there are very few better hitters than him. BUY BUY BUY!
-Fu-Te Ni, yep, you read that right, Fu-Te Ni The Tigers Right hander appeared in 30+ games last year and was just about the Lone shining star in the last month of the season for the faltering Tigers. His ERA of 2.34 and .187 batting average against shows that he can get it done in the bigs.
SPECIAL NOTE: For those of you that love to buy cards, hold them for a bit, and sell them when a player gets hot to make a gain, start buying Fu-Te Ni cards. Why? Because history repeats itself! Asian superstar pitchers historically come to America and cut down American hitters for one, and occasionally, two seasons. That is usually followed by some quality time in middle relief and filling out the back end of a rotation. See also, Byun Yung Kim, Hideki Irabu, Hideo Nomo, Chan Ho Park, and soon to follow Dice K. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! (so buy now, and sell in about a year) Where else can you get a 50-75% ROI in 9 months?
-Cheng-Min Peng, four straight batting championships in the Chinese Professional Baseball Leagues. He holds the all time record in Chinese Professional Baseball for batting average in a season with a .391 average. Expect Peng to skip across the pond in the extremely near future. Until then, you'll have to be content with his World Baseball Classic cards
-David Price, he burst on to the seen, number one choice, big promise and a short sample of his abilities in a half dozen games back in 2008. 2009, many don't recognize, was a exceptionally quality year for him as well. STAT OF THE DAY...GET READY FOR IT.....David Price was 10-7 in 2009. In the 7 games he lost, his run support was horrifying, with his teammates providing an mean of two runs per game in those seven losses. In addition, in five of those losses, he pitched his team into the sixth inning. Give the guy a few RUNS already! Thank goodness collectors see his significance!
-Travis Snider, the former first round pick of the Blue Jays is a flat out stud. His numbers in the majors have improved as he gets more opportunities. Snider's future has been carefully groomed as the Blue Jays brought him along slowly to ease his transition to the Big Show. He was a fiend at triple A Las Vegas hitting one home run every 12 at bats. Hit in the mid .300's while at Vegas and absolutely crushed lefties with a .400 BA against.
As previously acknowledged, we don't craft the prices, we just convey them. So, here they are! Six players that improved in worth according to Beckett Media during the month of November.
