Players with over priced gamers

[Wrigley2010]

I know we've all thought this before... Why does his stuff sell for a premium when compared to similar players prices?

So I want to know who do you think falls in to the over priced category?

This all came about when I was trying to work a deal for an Ian Kinsler bat. A player I've always admired but never understood why his items sell for the amount they do. Don't get me wrong he is a good player but is he a superstar? I'm not so sure about that.

Anyways lets here it who do you think is over priced?

we had this talk over the almora bat....people are starting at the minor league level and its trending from then on....for example look at kris bryant, anything he signs, used or basically with his name on it is outrageous...he hasnt even stepped in the majors yet. dont get me wrong I think he has superstar potential but what has he proved in the majors to have superstar pricing?

Current NFL stars. The stuff of many current players sells for more than HOFers stuff.

David Ortiz. Can't understand the premium on his items considering his PED allegations.

I find it amazing how people are asking $3000 to $4000 for a non-graded/MLB authenticated game used Mike Trout bat. Albert Pujols has had an incredible career up to this point and definitely is going to the Hall of Fame and I paid $800 for a 2002 GU9 SAMs bat on eBay last year which I'm looking to photo match. On average common GU Pujols Bats sell for around $1500. It looks like Mike Trout sells any and everything he uses so if he has a 15 year career and has the usual ups and downs, how many items will be out there and can people honestly believe his stuff will be worth that price they are paying today?

I agree with you. Pujols' numbers his first three seasons are better than Trouts and he already is guaranteed HOF enshrinement.

Really? An all-time fan favorite in one of the biggest baseball markets who won three world series titles and will eventually have his number retired by the organization and you can't believe his bats sell for around $1k?

Get over the steroid thing Roady. Look at what the current Bonds bat is doing in Grey Flannel. Should people not pay a premium for Bonds and McGwire?

Did anyone here pay those overpriced George Springer or what's his name from the Astros, Singleton bats and jerseys when they came up on mlb auctions when they debuted? I remember seeing them go for around $6-$8000
How about Wil Myers stuff? His bats were selling for a premium when he came up and won ROY. Now everything that comes up sells for cheap.

All three are cheaters and NEVER will get in the hall of fame. So yes it's supid for their items to go for that much.
