Modern cards that the prices can't last on ?

mickey mantle was injured and he turned out ok....cant use injury as an excuse or disclaimer.....larry walker could of been one of the greatest too....

Harper and Trout are the " Player Du Jour ". Prices for their cards are so overinflated, IMO the prices have no where to go but down. If I were to look at modern cards I'm looking at players who are halfway to assembling a HoF resume or have already done so. Players who have been in the league for around 10 years or so ( maybe longer ), no longer the darling of ESPN, but are close to the best in a respective position. I imagine Kershaw could be had for a fraction of Trout or Harper. Same for Bumgardner. Perhaps Miggy would not be as costly as Harper or Trout. AP certainly isn't. Beltre is dirt cheap compared to the cards of any of the named players, and he's going to get to 3000 hits in 2017. Like him or not, Cano can be had for a decent price too.
