Raw / Graded Card question - jlandry287 - 11-13-2012

If BV on a raw card is $18 mint (just for example) but you found one graded 9.5 for $10 in a card shop, would you buy it regardless of who it is? It's a player I'm not super familiar with [Steve Pearce]. What do you think?

Are you thinking investment??
Pearce has played 6 years for 4 different organizations and has a .234 BA.
Upside??
If for PC..grab it..if for flipping..not much there is flip...
OF course, he could be a sleeper..at age 29 now, he could be an All-Star in his 30s..has happened before..

That's kinda what I'm thinking will happen. He will start showing his true talent within the next few years and his stuff will skyrocket

Bit of a stretch, but it would be a low risk high reward if thats the case. There are about 10 of his GU jerseys on ebay for less then 100$ each, also some bats in the 30$ range. Get wild and get some of those too.

What about Christian Garcia? GU and auto.. Worth the risk?

Yeah, it is definitely a stretch.
