Just wait until next March, these prices will look reasonable. His base gems, barring injury or a PED suspension, will be north of $1k during spring training next year.

Super excited to add this one to my collection!!! I may have overpaid slightly but I didn't want to miss the opportunity!

You didn’t overpay. I was looking at that too.

Picked up a BGS 9.5 base auto yesterday. Centering and edges pristine, corners and surface a 9.5. Also, the auto is one of the nicest looking examples I’ve seen.

Definitely paid a big premium, but going to try to get it bumped. True gems, let alone true gem plus, are hard to come by. And only 11 pristine examples with no black labels. Compare that to Acuna who has 70 pristine and 9 black labels!

Thanks, I got it in hand yesterday and regret nothing . It's my new favorite card!

I noticed that sale and scratched head until I clicked and saw the subs! It's a tough card to grade. Hopefully there is a fingerprint that you can simply wipe off, resub and get a pristine! Best of luck with it.

I purchased an ungraded purple ref auto during the 15% off day earlier this month. When I received it I was a little disappointed because a corner was a little soft and turned up so I knew it wouldn't be a high grade. But I just tried my best to smooth out the corner and sent it in to BGS expecting an 8.5. When I went online to check my grade to my total surprise the card got a 9.5! But it had a 9 auto...oh well I'm still tickled.

Well I get the card in hand yesterday and they put a "10" label in for the auto. BGS you silly rascals!!

Big difference between 9 auto and 10 auto prices.

Hope you get it squared away before selling....

Some pretty crazy Vlad sales in the last 24 hours with him mashing AA and eBays 15% off discount. Purple gems going for $1,200, ref gems going for $1k, base gems hitting $750, a gold non-auto gem just sold for $650. A lot of his Best/Platinum autos are also selling quickly.

Had these raw graded today. The three Bowman cards and two Bowman's Best cards are all jersey numbered cards (ie. 27/50, 27/150, etc). Can't wait until Vlad grabs the number 1 spot on Prospect lists.

Crazy that the best player in the minors only has a three page thread.

was hoping they'd wait to call him up late next season, so his RC would be in 2020 Heritage, which is 1971 Topps, but the kid is ready now

Honestly, it wasn’t great. Everything was overpriced and anyone that had ANY Guerrero wanted the moon for it. The good thing was that dealers were buying and baseball was prevalent. Dealers are smartening up.

The bad it’s going to get worse when Vlad, Jr. is playing in Toronto.

Honestly? Not really. I don’t think people up here dig Panini. Toronto is basketball mad, just not basketball card mad.

Check out MiLB's latest video on Instagram to see Vlad hit an opposite field home run off of a tee

Just when I thought I'd seen it all....

Well, a true gem base auto just went for $850.

Thought my $830 near pristine would be tops for at least a week

He is CRUSHING. I wonder if they will just call him up in June instead of sending him to AAA this year.

This is insanity. I paid $500 for a true gem not THAT long ago.

Wondering what a refractor auto PSA 10 will be worth? Glad the idiot I dealt with here tried to low ball the crap out of me and changed my mind about selling it
