Dilemma...You Decide The Outcome ! SCANS
So i was looking on ebay tonight and i seen an Albert Pujols Auto bat....They are from a dealer that has thousands of great feedback as he runs an autographed item ebay store. The albert pujols bat is awesome as it is signed in gold and it is a bat that is issued to him that he hits with currently. The dilemma here is how am i going to raise the money for the bat which will cost me between 500-600 bucks. My plan was to sell my 2010 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor Stephen Strasburg Auto #/50. I could get 550-700 bucks for it right now. What do you guys think ? I could would still have some money let over for cards....and i think it would be a good investment to purchase this bat to have in my collection for a long time. ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME....please help me out here. Here is a picture of the bat.

Sell the card, buy the bat. Pujols will always be a star. In my opinion, there is no where for Strasburg and the value of his cards to go but down. Get now while the getting is good!

Without question you get that bat. Pujols is already a lock for the HoF. Strasburg could never win 35 games for all we know. Not to mention, being able to showcase an autographed bat that looks as good as that one is much cooler than a card. At least in my opinion.

Considering Strasburg has yet to prove he can perform and stay healthy, I think The Pujols Bat would be your best bet. ANYTHING autographed of Pujols is a more solid investment....not to mention that bat is just SIIIICK!

go for it, pujols is a no doubt hall of famer and strasburg didnt even pitch one full year(one that didn't live up to his expectations) and you never know how he is going to turn out

Are those authentication stickers and if so by who? I also need to see an item signed as all of my auto's are signed in-person (IP) but the bat matches up with known authentic graphs.
As said in previous post's Pujols will be a lock for the HOF and Strasburg may never return to form when all is said and done.

Wow, didnt realize Pujols was one of those major leaguers that dont realize the quality that is put out by Louisville Slugger.
Is this thing on?
