Put your Chris Shelton cards on eBay if you got them ...

I wish I had a bunch of Chris Shelton cards to sell right now. Check out the bidding on this autographed card after he slugged two more homers last night. In 13 at bats, the Tigers slugger is now hitting .692 with 4 homers. The bidding on this card went from $7 to $20. You can never underestimate the power of a few homers and the zealousness of a few fans.

Chris Shelton

Comments

  • I'm going to have to dig out my Topps Pristine rookies of him--the same thing happened last year with Mike Jacobs Gallery rookies after he hit like ten homeruns in his September call up...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    That's interesting...

    I was just thinking last night - do we have any RC sellers here.

    We used to have a bunch of guys discussing them and their sales.

    Beachbum, Roach, KallMalonesay e.g.

    There's a certain excitement in the air when discussing hot RC's and the current trading trends.

    Good luck guys,

    Nah, I only have the 999 refractors. would've been nice to have the /49 card though.

  • zef,

    Nice card. Although I wouldn't spend $200 on Chris Shelton. I could buy a PSA 9 Winfield rookie for that price.

    onlyanumber,

    I think your /999 Pristine rookies will sell just fine. I say go with a short-term auction though. That's just my opinion.

    I went with a five day--not too many Sheltons up there from Pristine so I figured I'd roll the dice... Besides Shelton gets some Texas pitching this weekend image

  • If I were the seller, I would have made that a shorter auction. Next week, Chris Shelton might be hitting .220 with 4 homers. image

    Of course, I'm also the guy who sold his Bruce Sutter rookies the week before it was announced he was going into the Hall of Fame and watched helplessly as someone resold them a couple weeks later for triple what I sold them for image
  • onlyanumber,

    Good call on your auctions. I was referring to the seller of the 2005 Leaf Auto in zef's post.

    Good luck.
  • Shelton hit homer No. 6 last night. He went two for three and his batting average went down to .688.

    Shelton is in the zone. Even his outs are caught by the center fielder on a dead run at the warning track with his back to home plate.

    Tigers magic number is 158 to clinch, 157 to tie.

    Look for the Tigers to go something like 161-1 this year, with their only loss being the game following the All-Star break when Leyland rests his 8 position players, all of whom started the All-Star game (similar to the Red Wings loss following the Olympics when they rested the Gold Medal winning Swedes). image

    Yes, BUT! Shelton is the third ugliest looking Tiger ever, only behind Don Mossi and Gates Brown!image

    Being a long time Pirate fan, my recommendation would be to hold onto his cards. He originally in the Pirates organization and was given away. With the Pirates' bad luck and lousy management during the past decade, he's sure to become a big star for someone else. They have a knack for letting talented players like Aramis Ramirez go and getting nothing in return.


    Sorry, I had to vent after their 0-5 start.
  • so far 2-2 tonight with 2 TRIPLES

    unreal...

    3-4 to get his average back UP to .700

    Who is this kid??

    On a side note, Arizona prospect Conor Jackson is looking good too for those of you chasing young rookies.
    I also sold a 2001 Leaf Limited Travis Hafner auto rookie for about eight bucks three years ago....oops.

    shawn
  • Verlander the young Pitcher is one of the better ones too for the Tigers...throwing high 90's and into the 100's for a SP in the mid innings...no wonder they took him #2 overall...had to take a plunge and pick up a Bowman Sterling auto/jersey card for $30 BIN...

    I just looked through my 04 bow chrome stash...found 4 Shelton's...no refractors, which kinda makes me mad. This guy actually had a bunch
    of rookies cards.

  • This is my first posting here, been checking out these boards these past few months, and they are quite informative, thanks everyone for giving me some extra information, without evening knowing it!!!

    As a resident of the Detroit area, I have seen Chris Shelton play the past couple years, mainly in the last year. He may not be Mr. Fifty-homers a year, but I kinda put him in the class of the late Kirby Puckett. If anyone remembers last year, he started off strong, allowing the Tigers to kick Carlos Pena to the curb. He had quite a huge slump after his amazing start, but still finished with strong stats, all this, still being a rookie (or 2nd year rookie) on a terrible team with no real hitters around him much of the year. Compare his body to Puck's, both are somewhat short, kinda chubby looking, have the huge butt (do not go there either)! Personally I do not think Shelton would ever be named in the same breath as a Mattingly, Boggs, or Puckett, but before his career is done, if he stays healthy, I see him winning a few batting titles. As a long time Tiger's fan, a supporter of the team through this long-term rerererebuilding, I think it is about time we have a player like Shelton, and others that have come on board, and I give this team another year or two, to be mentioned in the same breath as the hated Yankees. I would not overpay for a Shelton rookie, but if I can get my hands on a few for a good deal, definitely something I would do without a second thought.

    But in any event, even if this Tiger's start turns out to be a fluke, we still have the Red Wings and the Pistons who have brought home championships, and chances are, they will do so again come June. And we also have the Detroit Lions to laugh and argue about, because all one can do is laugh at that fiaso, the past stresses with this team would put any Lion's fan in the grave by the age of 31, at that age, I would only have one more losing season, and I am history!!!! I will add my thoughts from time to time everyone, if it is something I know about!!!

    I think Big Red is going to become a professional hitter in the Mike Sweeney KC mode.Sweeney because he is on Kansas City is very underated.You would defintely hear more about Sweeney if he were palying in a Big market.
    Good job by Tigers in picking this guy in the Rule 5 draft.

  • gemint i feel your pain as i am a long suffering Pirates fan as well.
  • Long time suffering Pirates fan!!!! Puhleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase, Tiger fans have been suffering for practically a generation, at least the Pirates have made the playoffs in my adult years, Pirate fans also had Barry..*..lol!!!

    With Shelton, I say it is about time that things appear to be in focus as far as getting youth that matures into something promising. As a Tigers fan, I am just glad to see that our minor league talent is beginning to develop, and we are finally having a few good drafts. Hopefully all this losing of the recent 18 years, will pay off. I still think the Tigers need one more good pitcher, is Roger Clemens still available?
  • I bought a lower end card of Shelton last night on Fleabay...he has gone 0-4 since with 3 k's and a popout...sorry for the Kiss of Death Tiger Fans...
  • he's back...(I hope)...had a HR yesterday and his one AB today yields a dinger....only 65 or so to go Chris before I hit paydirt...image
  • He's going to be around a while(I mean come on, he plays for the Tigers!). Not a big fan of his batting mechanics(A real long swing, I can see him getting mired in some big slumps) but alas I don't have any Shelton rookies, nor will I be getting any! That is, until I find a deal.

    I went to Monday's Tigers/Indians game.

    Shelton's first at-bat, he looks at two right down the pipe. On the 0-2 pitch, he hits one that never gets higher than 8 feet off the ground into the left field stands. The only question was whether the ball was going to go over the wall or through the wall. Granted he struck out his next two at bats, but still . . .

    I think someone named Tuffy Rhodes for the Cubs hit three jacks on opening day a few years back, what ever happened to him? Hopefully Shelton doesn't follow that path of a player coming out of the gates screaming and fading down the stretch, heck; I don't even think Rhodes made it to the stretch.

    Karl Tuffy Rhodes hit three homeruns on opening day 1994. He ended up with 8 homeruns total for the season. He found success in Japan and became a star over there...
