Hi guys, I hope I'm not being a spoiler for anyone that doesn't know about the Cleveland/Chicago series?
Anyway, being from Chicago, although, a Cardinal Fan. After the Sox deterioration.
This has got to be a record?
They Struck out, a miserable...
"75" times! In the 5 gm. Series!
That's an average of
15K's for each game! Wow!
Sad for the White Sox Fans, congrats to the Cleveland fans and the team!
Wow, what a collapse!
Murakami, struck out all plate appearances today!
Now, I'm worried about my Murakami cards I have. Are they going to collapse too?
Sheeeshhh.
Although, you have to give the team credit. What a year!
Maybe, next year?

"Investing" in new rookies is usually a losing proposition. Those players that are not are exceptions or outliers

I suspect that within an avid community of people who collect Asian players, your Murakami cards will remain as desirable as they've been so far. Hopefully, he will be playing again next spring, not waiting around for an end to a lockout.
A gembryo is the early developmental stage of a perfect card.
I see no scenario where 2027 is a full season and the prediction money is on no MLB season

I don't own any prediction money.

I do. I'm not against gambling, but I am totally for calling it what it is in all its forms.

Don't know about his cards, but his second half slide cost him millions in his next contract.
Card collecting,It's a marathon not a sprint.
Not sure about a marathon unless its to weed out all the failures
How many hot rookies from 10 years ago panned out to point they are sought after? My guess is 10% at absolute best. Interest is lost in even players who have solid careers .

So much negativity. The card market prefers the positive efforts made by its participants. It takes a strong individual to stay involved in whatever way they choose. And BLUEJAYWAY is absolutely correct. It’s a marathon and it never ends.

See below posting from Darin - pretty much says it all

Murakami is a 26 year old rookie who hit .207 and doesn’t excel defensively. I’m not trying to be discouraging but his rookie cards will never be worth much. That’s just the way it is.
Thanks for the advice, however...
One really never knows the future.
Have you ever seen the Robert Redford movie,
The Natural?
Sure, it's about a fictitious ball player but some MLB Players are slow starters.
Jordan Walker, and many others...
Thanks
One More Thing...
Robert Redford (RIP) so happens to be one of my favorite movie stars! Many awesome roles he portrayed!
Brubaker, is just one
more. Many famous actors in this movie. Morgan Freeman, etc...
The
Sting, I could go on forever...
