the quietist lockout of all time have not heard a single thing in months lol They have been having a couple of meetings a week. No agreement in sight, I imagine next Monday or thereabouts they will need a deal so spring training isn't delayed and as a result the season.

We're seriously not gonna start on time if at all the way things are going. I would venture to guess that the season will start around April 15th +- 5 days.

474K for a card for a kid with a .744 OPS in low A ball? Granted he was only 17, but he is not even close to the majors and this buyer expects a superstar.

He is apparently quite the specimen. If he lives up to expectations, that card will go up in value easily, but we know there are only a few hall of famers that get inducted each year, if that...

I don't know of any modern hall of famers who's cards are worth that much. I don't know the background on this but it appears like a shaky investment to me.

Its not if the kid pans out as an elite player. That's what investors are gambling on. www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/2011-topps-update-mike-trout-platinum-rookie-card-sold/Are you into the hobby at all?

Anyway those cards were printed in a different time, where only base cards were printed.

I used to be heavily about 25 years ago. I'm not really plugged in now. For every Dominguez that becomes Trout, there are 8-10 that don't. BA has him ranked 87th. MLB has him 17th. BP has him out of the top 101.

BP has him out of the top 101. Its not about him becoming Trout though. Trout is just an example that cards do go for that much. That young kid never reaches the majors...sure the investment isn't wise. He becomes a 3 time all star non-HOF talent who busts in NY? It probably depends on many other factors including the rarity of the condition of that card. Kid becomes King of NY? That's potentially a $10 million retirement plan in 25 years. This kid has been "one of the most celebrated minor leagues with sky high expectations" (https://www.mlb.com/news/jasson-dominguez-exceeding-yankees-expectations) so an investor betting on his talent in an era where many elite MLB players are excelling at a young age is exactly what an investor should be doing I would say. Especially where he's playing in a market where the market itself can make him a star and therefore increase the value of that card.

Don’t forgot the 5% (I think that is the figure) buyers premium at Goldin. The person likely has money for both, but if I only could buy one or the other, I would be buying as many high end Tom Brady cards as I could. I think that would be the better play.

There will be better returns on the sure thing. Brady cards won't go down in price. Prospects are boom or bust in MLB.
