WTB: Kris Bryant 2013 Bowman Chrome Draft Refractor

My advice -- in a word -- no. Way too speculative. Way too much hype. Way too much manufactured scarcity. Think people spending 10K and probably much more for Stephen Strasburg cards. And besides, except for the ones with heritage design, they are UGLY. Can't even see the guy's face on half of them. Chicken scratch autographs.

I mean look at this thing that was all the rage. Where is his face?

Peter--

Every ounce of my being agrees with you. I don't think there's any danger in my crossing over to Modern in a meaningful way. Some of the conversations I've had with Sellers of this particular card over eBay in the last week boggle the mind. We are clearly speaking a different language, if not living on different planets. Although the value of this particular card has been steadily deteriorating since the end of the season, they truly believe there is further *upside* to be had.

Despite my dabbling with Kris Bryant cards, I expect moving forward that my percentage of Modern cards will go from 0% in 2015 to 1% in 2016.

If there is so much upside why are they selling. Sounds like a sales pitch. If you want a Bryant get a normal looking card for 10 bucks LOL or whatever they cost, don't spend thousands on some ridiculous shiny thing.
