Man, the Cabreras have really shot up in the last few weeks. I was killing it on them (on the buying side, relatively speaking) during the summer. I was picking up base GU for $2-3 and patches for $7-12 and autos for $8-15. Now, they've all doubled.
One of the things that attracted me to collecting Cabrera was that he was a fairly affordable star to collect. -And he has a ton of cards, dating back to the early '00's. As a Tiger fan and collector, I'm glad to see his star rise on a national level. But it definitely makes collecting him a little tougher. One of my other PC guys-Verlander-is also riding sky high, and Stanton isn't too far behind. Obviously, these guys are all stars to begin with, so it doesn't come as a big surprise to me. There aren't a lot of deals to be had though right now, and I can't bring myself to sell while the getting is good. (The curse of the collector!)

Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.
