Yeah but I was asking who you think wasn�t hyped. What I�m getting at is whether or not it�s possible to be the next big thing without being criticized over expectations.

not about criticized over expectations generally , the issue I have is I am critical of the prices being paid for these cards. Many of the potential great players get criticized as far as their future but the card prices are not nearly as high like Julio Rodriguez.

Lebron James certainly was worth all the hype...however what is the ratio and remember a lot of these hyped cards will end up being worth 99% less 5 years later than what they sell for in the first year

It is an oddity of modern collecting that if Rodriguez has a really good next 10 years, appears on the Hall of Fame path, etc....his rookie cards will likely be LESS expensive than they are right now.

exactly so many other factors...what city he plays in how many championships any huge individual feats like 60 home runs etc Dude can hit .320 with 25 homer a year and 20 steals on average for 10 years and cards tank

I think the issue is that you guys are trying to fit the pre-war model of collecting into the modern model and it's never going to be the same game.

I think J-Rod is pretty darn good. He's likely to lead off for an absolutely stacked Dominican team in the World Baseball Classic, which should be fun.

Hey. He's gotta be pretty good if he can make already packaged Topps cards out of what looks like cookie dough.

I agree he looks good but also his super expensive cards can fall in value...he can be great and still have huge loss of value in cards....

well pre war people sell a wide variety of cards , and very few lose 99 percent of their value, so thats the issue with the model. Seems more like a pyramid scheme for the julio rodiq types. the last one holding the bag when the music stops is in trouble..

That's true for the most part. There are some silly things that sell for a lot of money on the pre-war side too. I might be in the market for one anyway but I'm not going to like what I spend on a Ten Million Obak when the time comes.

Flipping lottery ticket winnings before they devalue isn't collecting.
