I think you blew past Ceddanne Rafaela too quickly, 108 minor league games in 2023 he hit 20 bombs, 36 steals, .302 avg .870 OPS, one of the few guys with legitimate 5 tool upside in this set
Found 2 hangers today while grocery shopping. Hit 9 of your top 15, including Elly and Domínguez. Also hit 2 numbered cards, Posey /89 and Longoria /2024. Hangers are probably best bang for your buck again, looking forward to your yearly video where you break them all down.
I just got into collecting baseball cards (2024 Topps Series 1) your channels great! Any big tips for a novice collector? Apps to use, sites etc. Cheers mate, from Australia.
Scottie, I have a show idea for Spitballin’ Cards. I previously suggested 2 show ideas. The 1st was a show that tracks eBay/auction houses sales to gauge baseball card popularity. The 2nd suggested a video discussion on Dylan Crews / Panini-exclusive cards in 2024 and beyond. The new topic (3rd idea) for the panel is a WHAT IF…. WHAT IF you had to spend $1 million on sport cards (and only sport cards), what would you buy / invest / speculate on with the $1 million? Why those cards / boxes / slabs / etc….? Is it Mantles or Jordans or Trouts? It is Topps Baseball 2011 or 2018? It is the Babe Ruth cards from Goudeys? The idea is to start at $1 million and start to subtract and when at $0, take a moment to check to see if those would be your true best investment / speculation cards. This would be a fun video because it incorporates daydreaming with a history lesson, some investing, some speculation, and it’s always fun to imagine.
There are so many awesome rookies in this set that I want to collect. Problem is that it’s going to be overproduced beyond belief due to Elly being in this product plus even Jasson Dominguez. Really good checklist though.
Among Evan Carter, Adley Rutschman, Jasson Dominguez, Jackson Holiday, Paul Skenes, Gunnar Henderson, Junior Caminero, and Pete Crow Armstrong which are they ranking with the collectors. 2019-2024 which rookie inserts with these players will worth the most?
I’m definitely chasing Zack Gelof to add to my Delaware born MLB player PC being a current resident and native of Delaware I have his Bowman Chrome 1st Gold Shimmer Auto atm I wanted that 1 because there only HTA pack exclusive
@@RM-pg4js Paul Goldschmidt I’m sure is a name your familiar with was born in Wilmington Delaware the other players are Delino DeShields,John Mabry,Kevin Mench,and Ben Wiltbank which I trained with Ben Wiltbank he was an MLB scout as well and recommended me to a semi pro team I played on
Endy is out for the year with an injury, HEnry Davis is replacing him behind the plate. Catcher is a position Davis has played all his life, to include the game before being called up. The Pirates called him, and they did what they always do, screw with prospects. They abandoned him in right field where he had no experience and let him struggle. He got two innings behind the plate. With Endy hurt, he will finally get his chance, I think he is a Piazza type talent with a better arm. When Endy comes back, he’ll be their regular first baseman.
@@David-fv7zg I saw him in AA last year. Had trouble receiving. Just like the scouting report said when he was drafted. Dude has a cannon and can crush the baseball. His glove is well below average.
@@stormz1243 I watched him in AA as well, I didn't see anything concerning, that can't be tweaked. He has been in FL for months honing his craft, let's see how it pans out.
Everyone is down on Davis, he only got a 2 for major league stats. If he scored an average of the group (6) he would be at the top of the list, with a score over 9. The Pirates screwed with him so much last season it really effected hit bat, Im stocking up on him, gonna be a breakout this year.
Just collect what you want. Nothing anyone says makes any difference. Everybody said Wander Franco in 2022 and how's that working out? They also said last year was going to be the best rookie class. 2023 blasters are going for $12, Adley & Gunner RCs aren't going to be expensive any time soon.
So Jordan Lawlar is in this, but he has no base cards, just inserts and autos. But he hasn’t had a rc card yet. Are these going to have the rookie logo? If not when the hell is he going to have a rookie card?
Jordan Lawlar's rookie card is in 2021 BOWMAN'S BEST. That set by HOBBY DEFINITION (that has been in effect for years) has the ONLY rookie cards of Lawlar, Henry Davis and many others INCLUDING Julio Rodriguez. However, the set doesn't meet the MLBPA criteria.
I know he's older and has had the injury bug, but why doesn't anyone talk about Royce Lewis? He's has around 50 games under his belt and has produced. Dude has like 5 grand slams in 50 some games and had 2 home runs in his first ever playoff game
@@Philmington Royce is definitely a short term play. His stuff isn't as cheap as one would think. Royce is 24 with 2.8 career WAR so he's got A LOT of work to do by the time he's 30 for a HOF career. I could see the Twins making a deep playoff run next year though
@@timmccray7507 he played last season at age 21 and the 77 games he had at triple AAA as a catcher he had an 834 ops. His MLB numbers were bad but oakland rushed him up
Maybe only 3 of theses rookies might be money makers besides that the hobby box once again is overpriced but I do wonder if JD was healthy and had that hype from 2020 if the hobby boxes would have been 150.
@@mygodmanm3008 haha yeah he was better than pretty much everyone on the list last year. I’m an A’s fan so gonna pick up as much as I can, dudes a stud

I think u had a missed opportunity with Matt McLain cause he's gonna come back from injury and go crazy
I feel like Elly had a lot more hype around him than anyone else. He has the swagger factor.
Yep. I think you are correct
elly got his swagger back but hes not as swaggy as joey votto whos dripping swag gew
Cant wait for the set breakdown video. You always bring amazing insight into print runs parallels and variations. Hobby vs. Retail.
Enjoy this type of content. Love that you go through each player and show how you came up with each grade.
I have Heston Kjerstad as breakout ROTY this season. Guy is too good.
Great guide! 🌟 Ready to build an impressive rookie collection! 🏆⚾
I think Encarnacion-Strand is going to be a star. I personally have him high on my list.

I look fwd to your videos! Love your analysis ✌🏻⚾
You actually too lazy to type out FORWARD?? Kids today I tell yah!
Well done! Your channel is such a blessing for the community! Thank you!
Love these videos!
Great content. I appreciate your insoghts to these rookies.
Love the content 👍🏻

Great video and player breakdown
Curtis was the first Aussie to get a hit in the playoffs. Bloody legend!
Keep rocking the great videos 🎉
Evan Carter for sure!!

2024 Topps Series 1 sold out on the Topps website for presales like 2days ago....just crazy!!

What are you talking about? It already has a much lower printing than last year.
@@ButIPoopFromThere I wrote that before there was any info about the set. The print run is down.
I wonder if another column for franchise might be helpful. Giving a little +/- based on the team they are on.
Among Evan Carter, Adley Rutschman, Jasson Dominguez, Jackson Holiday, Paul Skenes, Gunnar Henderson, Junior Caminero, and Pete Crow Armstrong which are they ranking with the collectors.
2019-2024 which rookie inserts with these players will worth the most?
Great video Scotty!
Very surprised to see CES ranked so low. He is probably the guy I'm most excited about. Thanks again for the awesome content!
I'd buy and sell Elly ASAP, he won't last but has some good hype right now. I'd buy Henry Davis and save for long run
Damn gelof at 12 he did better than basically everyone on here
Question for you guys Why can’t I find a Bowman 1st for Nolan Schanuel?
Endy Rodriguez is out for the season is he not?
He is
Unfortunately
I’m definitely chasing Zack Gelof to add to my Delaware born MLB player PC being a current resident and native of Delaware I have his Bowman Chrome 1st Gold Shimmer Auto atm I wanted that 1 because there only HTA pack exclusive
Delaware ?😂

If you hated Davis’s glove in right field you’re going to loathe his glove behind the dish
@@stormz1243 have you actually ever seen him play? I doubt it, or you wouldn't be talking like a fool.

@@David-fv7zg hope you’re right. Love the player. Dude has the intangibles to be a leader. If he improved it wouldn’t shock me given his work ethic.
Since I’m a Cardinal fan, Masyn Winn is who I’ll be targeting.
Me too
No Mauricio?
Is Luis Matos in this? The guy is going to be good. Barely ever strikes out, has some pop too
I think series 2 will be loaded. Holliday, chourios, hopefully Skenes. Hoping Elley is the real deal, have 3 autos of him
Potentially Marcelo Mayer, Jordan Lawlar, and junior caminero
You didn't mention or don't know that Endy Rodriguez is out for the season.
These will be tough to obtain Gem Mints. I'm just glad the design is not atrocious (i.e. 2021)
did not realize Evan Carter was that young?
Luis Matos missed top 15!?!?
Everyone is down on Davis, he only got a 2 for major league stats. If he scored an average of the group (6) he would be at the top of the list, with a score over 9. The Pirates screwed with him so much last season it really effected hit bat, Im stocking up on him, gonna be a breakout this year.

When I need to feel negative about positive things I come to this channel.
Masyn Winn held out for series 2?
There it is, like clockwork
I’m assuming you aren’t counting Lawlar, Caminero, and Crow-Armstrong bc they only have autos in this set? All 3 of those guys are top 15
Prospects.
Correct. I excluded them since they didn't have a abse card same with Marte.
Will Mauricio have a base card in the set?
@@jroc2188 yep. Checklist is on topps website if you want to check it out
Thx 🙏
ellys 3rd rookie season awesome

Lawlar?
Great the 2 guys I wanted to hunt are #1 & 2. Guess I’ll have to break out the wallet going to shows
wyatt langford?
Elly De La Cruz card is # 141.
I know he's older and has had the injury bug, but why doesn't anyone talk about Royce Lewis? He's has around 50 games under his belt and has produced. Dude has like 5 grand slams in 50 some games and had 2 home runs in his first ever playoff game
Priced similarly to Rafael Devers. I recently snagged something big of Royce tho. 😮
Sshhhhh.... stack him while you can while he's cheap

@@tedjerdee1028 agreed on the S/T time horizon. He’s a masher.
Is it just me or do you NOT make ENOUGH videos!?!?!? Lol
Thanks Guy, I appreciate that. I’ll work on making more 😁
Yamamoto isn't considered as a rookie?
Hi Tom, Yamamoto does not have a card in this set. He will most likely be in series 2.
Your stat comparison is flat out confusing A.F
I'm surprised tyler soderstrom didn't make the list.
I know nothing about him other than I have two autos on eBay for 10 bucks and no one wants him so I assume he stinks.
@@timmccray7507 he played last season at age 21 and the 77 games he had at triple AAA as a catcher he had an 834 ops. His MLB numbers were bad but oakland rushed him up
Elly De La Truth
So.."couple clutch moments "..doesn't quite do Mr Frelik right...take a bit more time in your presentation..the time suggestions..are just that...
Tj.
Maybe only 3 of theses rookies might be money makers besides that the hobby box once again is overpriced but I do wonder if JD was healthy and had that hype from 2020 if the hobby boxes would have been 150.
Jumbos were only $159. The real problem is Topps jacked tons of cards out of the boxes. They put 96 less cards in hobby boxes this year
@@ryanra44That’s crazy!!!
Only one has a ring tho 😉
0:1
Elly is easily the #1. Henry Davis is a terrible fielder so if his bat doesn't produce he is going to be a AAAA player.
if Gelof was on yankees or another team he's top 3. Luckily he will be cheap since on A's
U stay away from them. They are mine. Apparently gelof is 12th best. Even though he did better than elly
@@mygodmanm3008 haha yeah he was better than pretty much everyone on the list last year. I’m an A’s fan so gonna pick up as much as I can, dudes a stud
Love the content but dude sounds like a robot
Baseball cards are in their way down. I wouldn't buy cards. The overprint and overpriced are on all time, comparable to the 90's
I hope Bryan woo breaks out
Don’t buy this garbage, Fanatics is taking you all for a ride.
Elly strikes out way too much to have long term hobby relevance.
He definitely has to improve to live up to the hype, but he definitely can.
