Today, if you ask me who you should be buying it's JRod and Ohtani at the MLB level and if you want to prospect the next guys, my money is only being spent on Elly de la Cruz, Jordan Lawler and Jackson Holliday.

What bag? I have $275 invested in Elly and Jordan Lawler and $250 invested in Holliday. I expect a tidy return. Elly and Lawler should be up at the end of this year, if not sooner. And Holliday is already playing in spring training games after graduating high school this summer.

It's true that you CAN buy the most expensive parallels of any individual player but you don't HAVE to. I buy base auto and if graded I avoid 10's because if I buy a PSA 9 and submit it on a different day, who knows anyway.
I just bought a raw Holliday first bowman auto this morning for $257. I remember when I was hemming and hawing over paying $150 for Juan Soto's first bowman auto after that came out. I'm not looking to make that mistake again. I do agree that there's a lot of money being wasted. I'm not interested in buying Gunnar Henderson, for example. He plays third base and there's very little chance he'll be as good as Manny Machado is, and Manny Machado doesn't really sell. So, no thank you for me there. Same with Adley Rutschman. Sure, he'll probably be good. But he probably won't be better than Buster Posey and Buster doesn't sell so well either. So I stay away. Last edited by packs; 03-01-2023 at 02:53 PM.

Bowman base first autos for those guys. Other guys like Wander and Julio I like to settle for Heritage Minors autos if they're on card or I'll buy an in person signed card instead of the insert auto. I like to buy select cards of select players when it comes to modern but I don't really like to extend much beyond $300. I do follow the market and products though.
And then for the monsters like Trout I like to buy in person signed minors rookies. I bought a signed Soto Heritage in place of the insert auto too. Sometimes I think in the long run in person signed cards of modern players might catch up in prices to certified autos. It's only getting harder to get someone like Trout at the stadium and I don't know how many players will hit the show circuit considering salaries now.

The real problem with prospecting is that it indirectly hurts everyone in the hobby.
When a set is sort of cool looking and I figure maybe getting some of the base set to open for fun, but no- it's hundreds of dollars a box because the prospect X chrome plated die cut game cracked fingernail card just maybe might be in there.... So that set as a base set becomes expensive for no sane reason, and is now priced way over what a normal person can pay. And when people at wally world at target start robbing people at gunpoint in the parking lot, for their blaster boxes (oh the irony!) after buying everything on the shelf hoping for the big score... and the chain no longer sells cards at the store. So I can't randomly pick up a box of ANYTHING here or there. And nobody else can either.

I go to Walmart and Target when I'm upstate and I don't have any problem buying blasters of anything. Maybe three years ago I might have. But not now.
Do you have an example for what you mean when you say a set gets expensive because there's a prominent insert? Every card can be picked up individually and individual cards of inexpensive players don't get expensive because there's a card of someone else in the set.
