1. Jose Bautista 2006 Bowman Chrome Autos
Comments: Flash in the pan? No way Jose, says the guy leading the AL in BA (.356), HRs (8) and OPS (.1283). He’s nearly 200 points ahead of #2 in OPS (A-Rod). A certain segment of collectors has went ahead and identified Jose as the real deal and his 2006 Chrome Autos are going crazy. Base Autos moved from $15 last week to nearly $40 shipped this week and parallels are going bonkers.
1. Sandy Koufax
2011 Topps Heritage Real One Auto
Comments: You may have heard of the big hit “Only One” by Rihanna. Well, this week, “Real One” by Sandy Koufax was released and it is vaulting to the top of the charts. With days left to go these autographs are already at $400+. It is unusual for us to put a card on this list that does not have a closed auction yet, nor any history but these cards are en fuego.
1. Manny Banuelos 2010 Topps Pro Debut Blue /259 RC
Comments: Parallels of base cards usually sell poorly, parallels of Pro Debut base cards usually sell even worse. Not the case with Manny Banuelos whose Blue /259 is now selling for $50 plus. At this point you could probably draw a stick figure on a piece of cardboard and write Manny Banuelos on it and sell it for $5-$10. His stuff is en fuego.
