Baseball Card Report

Below is a copy and paste from the .PDF Upper Deck released earlier detailing the Mystery Cut redemptions that were inserted 1 per case in 08 Legendary Cuts.  The file has since been pulled from their website since controversy has arose over licensing issues of the players used in the set.  As it stands, Topps maintains exclusive rights to the likeness of certain retired players and at the moment it appears Upper Deck has included some of these players in the current set.  With redemptions fetching close to $500 on eBay and uncertainly looming over this set, sell now and buy a nice PSA/DNA certified cut for a fraction of the price.

According to eTopps.com , this week’s baseball autograph offering will be Justin Upton of the Arizona Diamondbacks. As all eTopps autographs, the card must be in your portfolio in order to make the purchase so there’s a little over a day left to acquire one from eBay or other eTopps trading/buying resources. Quantity is limited to 100 and priced at $69.00. Current Upton prices have been hovering around $50 due to the auto offering, great time to sell!

In addition to the Upton auto, there’s also 4 baseball IPO’s this week:

Johnny Cueto - Cincinnati Reds - Limited to 1199
Nick Blackburn - Minnesota Twins - Limited to 899
Blake DeWitt - Los Angles Dodges - Limited to 799 **RRO**
Clete Thomas - Detroit Tigers - Limited to 799 **RRO**

The Cueto might be a solid buy if there’s the chance of an autograph offering later in the season, if you’re really interested in Clete Thomas, pick up his 2006 Bowman Chrome RC’s.

Opening day is just around the corner but it’s still not too late to order a copy of the 2008 Baseball America Prospect Handbook. By their own declaration, The Comprehensive Guide to Rising Stars from the Definitive Source on Prospects; most would be hesitant to disagree. The BA Handbook annually provides comprehensive analysis for each of the 32 major league organizations with stats and write ups for the top 30 prospects for each team. Additional information includes each organization’s top offensive players, defensive players, position analysis, and other in depth tools that are invaluable to prospect investor or the every day fantasy participant. Currently on sale at Amazon.com for $19.77 (34% off list price).

While you’re there, try one of these additional resources to bump yourself over the $25 threshold to qualify for free shipping.
