    I recently moved. While packing, I found an unopened 40-card pack of 2008 Topps Update. I'm not one for opening packs like I was when I was a kid, but I decided to open the pack and pulled the Kershaw. Immediately sleeved and toploaded the card. It is in perfect condition as well. Can't believe I had it all these years haha.

    Ichiro really gave us some hope in Seattle--made a lot of home games bearable to watch. I remember once at the bottom of the first we were down 9-1 and my kids (were already full of stadium food and) wanted to leave but we stayed for Ichiro!

      Loved Ichiro. My memory was him out running Big Unit to 1st in 2001 All Star game . Play at 1st became a card the next year. Wish I could remember brand. That's over 20 years of fading memories ago. 😎✌️

    Great video. Interesting what you said about low number of HOFers. I think the 80s is like that too. Fernando, Strawberry, Mattingly, Clemens, Gooden, Bonds, Bo Jackson, McGwire, Canseco, McGriff, Jo Carter, Eric Davis, Hershiser, Gibson - all great and expensive rookie cards but not HOFers. Maybe that's a show - most expensive rookie cards of non HOFers!

    2006 Topps was the first baseball card set I ever collected as a kid. I still love the set design. And as you laid out in this video, the rookie card guidelines were very confusing prior to '06, so I'm glad MLB implemented standards regarding that. Great video as always!

He’s #7 all time in hits for catchers (will end #5), has 400 doubles (#4 among catchers), 170 HR, 1000 rbi, and a lifetime .279 avg. the bbref hof monitor has him as an absolute HOF lock with a staggering score of 169 (Mike Trout is at 143, for reference).

    Votto is a lock.
    MLB active OPS leaders with at least 3000 PA's are as follow:
    1. Trout 2. Votto 3. Cabrera 4. Pujols
    Reds waiting till he was 23 to bring him up (he was ready before) combined with playing on some pretty bad teams have hurt his counting stats a bit. He is a sabermetric darling and well liked among writers and players.

    I was out of the hobby for the entire 2000s and 2010s. This is the first time I’ve seen most of these rookie cards. I’m floored by the prices relative to traded and update cards from the 1980s of guys like Ripken, Puckett and Clemens. I would think Cabrera would be No. 1 on this list (or at least 2 to Pujols), but pop count probably plays a big role. I don’t see him behind Grienke on careers alone. I’m thinking the low pop count of some of the cheaper cards in this list has to do with them not being big-money cards, so not worth submitting as much as the others.

  • @cardboardu6019
    @cardboardu6019 2 года назад +1

    Joe Mauer is ahead of hall of fame catchers in countless statistics. Verlander is probably fairly noted as the first "sure-fire" hall of famer, but Mauer has to be better than 90%. I'm a white sox fan, he was a demon. Votto also might even be better than 90% at this point. His offensive output has been beyond prodigious. The stats that show how often he has led the national league in different power hitting stats are insane to look at.

    I may be wrong, but it feels like Votto still has some work to do to become a HOF lock. 2000 hits, 300 HR, 1000 RBI are solid but not exceptional, especially in this era - however the impressive walks/OBP (top 50 all time in both) and MVP do help. He's 38, and off to a lousy start, so this could be the beginning of the end, so he will be an interesting case. I'll be pulling for him.
    Side note - I'm also looking forward to Greinke's HOF speech. Has potential to be the strangest ever.

      I heard a very funny Greinke story. He was on 1st base in a game that was a blow out. Zack tries to steal second (his decision) and is thrown out by a mile. The manager asks him whats that all about. Zack says 10 - 10 and walks away. The manager is confused and later finds out that Zack is trying to get 10 Hrs and 10 steals in his career. "The only milestone I care about is to get 10 HR's and 10 Stolen bases." he said. Hilarious!!!

      Votto is def an interesting situation. His career has been a tale of 2 cities. Early on he was a power and rbi man, then he became a guy that took walks. He also plays in a smaller market and has never been a consistent winning team. In my opinion he has had 5 hall of fame worthy seaons, 4 or 5 solid ones and a few stinkers either cause of injury or poor play. He is a SABR metrics persons dream, but I feel as a star player he had too many cases when they needed him to get a hit in a big situation and drive in a run and he takes a walk. Wont be mad if he gets in, but I wont be upset if he doesnt.

Nice if you had one for the $ but otherwise they hold little appeal other than eye candy. I love collecting all types of rookies and to me these cards are just as valuable as a low pop, fancy parallel, auto, patch and so forth that many times are not even the players rookie and are just a year or two old. Hate the disparity between PSA and BGS price wise. Don’t get that.

      @@brentwalker5726 I did another search and came across one for $100 and I decided to buy it! Of course, being in Canada, there was an expensive shipping cost and with duty fees from eBay's global shipping program and the exchange rate, it ended up being $182 Canadian, but you only live once, so I said what the heck. I really like the old fashioned design of those cards. I searched my email to see if I had ever tried to get that set before and I found that in 2012, I was outbid and it sold for only $20.63. I guess I should have bid a bit more back then.
