Especially one with such a major flaw such as strikeouts. I would keep a Bryant if pulled from a pack if I didn't think his prices were so over inflated right now.

Instead the players I think worth investing/collecting are players like Trout, Goldschmidt, Cabrera, Ichiro, Cano, Beltre, Votto. These players have established careers or solid career starts and most of their cards are found for so much less than Bryant's (major exception is Trout).
I understand the upside for Cabrera, he could set records and be among the very top few players ever statistically, but other than Trout who is still quite young, what's the big upside for those other guys who are midway or most of the way through their career already?
