I am thinking about buying some modern card packs and wondered who the "hot" prospect names are right now? Obviously, I know Harper is the big one. Who else? Any help is appreciated!

Funny i was just thinking the same thing today!
Paul Goldschmidt, Brandon Belt, Cecchini, mark Trumbo, Freddie Freeman, that will give you a start...

<< <i>Kevin Maas, Ron Gant, Todd Van Poppel & Ben McDonald are sure fire prospects! >>
Gregg Jefferies -- I still have more than 100 1989 topps and would search for packs with him on the top or bottom.

I remember seeing the owner of a flea market open a briefcase in front of me full of '88 Fleer Jefferies in top loaders rubber-banded together. I bought two from him for $25 apiece and wished I had cash to buy more. Incidentally, I recall that same flea market had '82 TT sets for $20 apiece.
Who says their is no money in modern?
If they are hot grade em!

They were top notch prospects, but no Von Hayes.

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
And by the way....if I happen to get a Todd Van Poppel card, Gumby has first dibs people!
eBay will have best competitive rate online.
Diamond Cards Online has great prices, call Shawn Hastings if they have something you want, and tell him I sent you. He should give you a great price. He always gives me the lowest price from Blowout, DaCardworld, and EBay.
Good luck!!
What products are you looking for and what's your budget?

I'm all set on Van Poppel, but am always looking for Brien Taylor rookies!

Brian Fletcher- BCP 103 Refractor 60/700 The card is purple and looks pretty cool actually!
Kyle Russell- BCP 105
JD Martinez-BCP 92
Adrian Salcedo-BCP 58
Paul Goldschmidt- BP 99
Jurickson Profar- BP 82
Wagner Mateo- BP 88
Jonathan Scoop- BP25
Anthony Rizzo-TC20
Also....I bought some 2010 Bowman Platinum and got these:
Desmond Jennings- PP2
George Springer- PP48
Jeremy Hellickson- PP3
JD Martinez- PP23 Refractor
Sonny Gray- PP37 Refractor
Austin Romine- PP119 Refrator
Billy Butler- 59....090/999
I probably didn't get anything special, but it was fun to rip a few packs during my lunch today!!!
Oh and I forgot to mention the first card on the top of one of the 2011 Bowman packs was A Rod base card #170 so I figured I wouldn't get much else in that pack!!!
Anyways, the kid Paul Goldschmidt has been displaying some serious power over the past few seasons.

$25 each? Wasn't that way over book price? I didn't think it was ever worth more than $10.

Not sure what book was but here in NY it was easily a $20 card. Gary Walter baseball cards sold out and he sells a lot of single cards. I made the mistake of trading a nice '68 Seaver for a bunch of Jefferies.
