1. Aroldis Chapman2009 Elites & Chromes
Comments: Oink, the Cuban Missile’s debut was no Bay of Pigs, #1 – everyone knew about it going in – oh, wait. #2 – it lived up to expectations. As the radar guns flashed triple digits, $ signs flashed in prospectors eyes. BINs are being hit like crazy and Aroldis is the latest huge payoff for prospectors.
1. John Skelton Panini Classics RC Auto /99
Comments: Are you a Matt Leinart believer? Are you a Derek Anderson believer? Both QBs have certainly had ups and downs in their careers thus far. This preseason, it has been mostly down and this means one thing for John Skelton, more notoriety and a quicker path to becoming a starting QB in the NFL. Also, if you haven’t noticed, when a guy is named the starter or there is speculation that he could become one, his cards skyrocket. This was the case as John’s Classics Auto /99 moved from $10 to $50 nearly overnight earlier this week. Prices have moderated some now but are still way up from where they were.
