Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
I received an email today from Cardinals Authentics selling game used and game issued Spring Training hats, and while most (if not all) seem overpriced, the fact that they are selling Seung-hwan Oh's TRANSLATOR'S game issued cap for $200 just goes to show how insane and out-of-touch these team authentics shops have become.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
$200 is more than fair!! Most scouts have him as the best translator in the game. I've heard there's a guy in AA who is unreal, but the guy he translates for might never make it to the big show.

In all fairness, he's better in high leverage situations than Broxton is.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
I made the mistake last year of paying their prices on a few items. Won't happen again. I'll just wait until the Winter Warm Up blowout when they still have all of this stuff.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
I walked in into the store yesterday and was excited to see new inventory of Hazelbaker, Grichuk, Piscotty and Wong and then saw the prices....I love Piscotty but @ 2500 I'll take a pass for now...

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
The prices on EVERYTHING they sell during the regular season is absolutely laughable. Those same hats from spring training will be in their store all year. I heard prices used to be market value a few years ago before new management took over, but I think its just a myth. They have turned off a lot of regular buyers with these prices......$300 for an issued hazelbaker hat? $100 more than holliday? Lol. I would rather just put my money in the shredder

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
Prices did used to be decent in the store, not any more. Rediculous.
Someone must have bought the Diaz off their list for $800 and now its on ebay for $5400.
