The purpose of this thread is to hear which athletes gamers my fellow collectors feel are "over valued". Why berate? Why criticize to a point it makes forum members apprehensive to post?

The purpose of this thread is to hear which athletes gamers my fellow collectors feel are "over valued". Why berate? Why criticize to a point it makes forum members apprehensive to post? Trust me, there are plenty of members here I could do without having to see/read their posts but instead of berating I just move on to the next thread. This whole forum would benefit if more of us started doing the same.

Back to the subject at hand. One of my favorite Prospects/Major Leaguers is Javy Baez and he certainly falls in to the over valued category and this MLB auction link is a perfect example of that. I do hope he learns to hit Major League pitching like he has done at every other level.

Re: Players with over priced gamers

I agree.... I'm tired of getting ripped off by auctions as well. Can anyone tell me some other reliable auction sites besides ebay to find NFL game worn jerseys?

Re: Players with over priced gamers

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?

it is ALL overpriced. personally, no modern, current player's stuff is worth as much as people ask, if anything really. c'mon guys. a player has one, 2 good games, seasons, and all of a sudden, he's a superstar, all star player? give me a freakin break. the hall of shame should be shut down too because there won't be anyone worthy to enter in a few years.

Come on kids we all have opinions. My opinion might not be that of another but who cares LOL it's mine.

We are all adults. Would be nice to see all of us guys/girls converse that way.

Re: Players with over priced gamers

I would say most of the outrageous pricing of rookie items in any sport has a lot to do with prospecting just like in card collecting. Collectors rolling the dice and betting on the next big thing.
Of course anyone who has collected cards can tell you that most rookie items can be picked up for much cheaper later on as collectors chase the next big thing.
Taking Mike Trout as an example, he has to play well for at least 15 years for a shot at the HOF and justified prices for his stuff. Just look at the prices Josh Hamilton items were going for a couple of years ago. Many collectors still don't understand that a few seasons of great play doesn't mean a HOF career. It takes a career to make a great player that is not just a footnote in history.

In terms of certain football players being overpriced I think what they did in college contributes I think even if jameis bombs out in the nfl fsu allumni are still going to shell out money for gamers due to what he did in college same thing with rg3 at Baylor and vince young at texas so even if they aren't great nfl players people are still going to shell out money

Re: Players with over priced gamers

Speaking of NFL Auctions, is there a way to see prices realized as a feature anywhere on the site?
Or does anyone here have an alternative, to say look up a specific player results?

Thanks

Re: Players with over priced gamers

For instance there is a nice Trout helmet that would be an awesome piece to have but it has been listed about 5 different times now and hasnt sold. Perfect example of overpaing at mlb auction and not getting your return. That is also another thing I do not understand. Whay continue to pay that high reserve listing price if its never going to get over 2500? If you want to get rid of it that badly just start the auction with your reserve price.

I agree; there are items getting listed over and over again on eBay that would be better served going to auction and just letting them run.
MLB Auction prices have made me stop even looking at items over there. And given what guys posted for NFL Auction numbers at the beginning of this thread, it seems even more over-the-top with football jerseys.

2001 Pujols played in 78 OF, 52 3B, 41 1B. 2002 118 OF, 41 3B, 21 1B. 2003 113 OF 62 1B, 1 SS. I would say that is just as valuable as everyday CF.

I would take an everyday CF anytime with that choice. A player can get moved around the field for a reason, as there is a difference between occupying a spot and doing it well. And speed should not be constantly overlooked, just ask the KC Royals.

He also has a big Japan following. I sold a Sox 4th of July game used hat and a Jackie Robinson Day Jersey and I recieved a premium for both. They both shipped to Japan as well.

Re: Players with over priced gamers

Andruw was one of the best on a Braves team that was playing on national tv every night and going to the playoffs every year so I think people don't realize the massive fan base he has and how many people want items from various 90s and 14 straight division title braves players. Factor in his success in japan and that is a huge baseball market thus why I believe he has higher prices

Re: Players with over priced gamers

Really? Thanks for your reply. We were talking about first two seasons. And I said relative, so you again are not counting speed and defense. And first baseman versus centerfield are different positions. You are counting three stats, well done. It's not over the line softball at the beach.

Pujols was an outfielder and Third Basemen his first 2 or 3 seasons I believe.

Re: Players with over priced gamers

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.

Stupid**^. Damn autocorrect
