I just stopped by the local card shop and picked up a Beckett and a few packs of Topps Series 2 baseball cards. When I got home I noticed a 2008 Red Hot Rookie Redemption card #1. I looked the card up online and saw that it can be redeemed for this card:

While I am sure Mr Bruce is and will be a fine player I don't have much of a desire to keep the card. How would you suggest I go about selling it?
A) Sell the redemption card now? (there is one on Ebay now currently under $25)
B) Redeem the card and sell later?
C) ????
Thanks in advance!

    Sweet pull. No opinion though, I'm not into the resell game.

    I'll trade you something for it if you want to dump it. They've been selling in the 50-60 range.

    I've got about 8 or 9 of them but am missing that one. Got 2 #2's and that was announced yesterday as a non-autographed Justin Masterson

    Thanks for the replys guys! Zep is right they are selling for about $50. At that dollar amount I think I will redeem it and hope he really is "The Next Big Thing". I am up for a small gamble. Sometimes you win, (I sold a Phil Hughes 2004 Bowman Heritage Red Auto last year for $450) and sometimes you loose. ( I am still waiting for my Zack Gienke cards to go back up in value. )
