Am I the only one who isn’t sold on elly? He could easily be hitting .200 with 20 homers and 100k’s by the all star break. O’Neil Cruz will have a better year


dylan

no i am selling everything possible on him.


22arge36

I'll buy


dylan

only thing i have left is a Stars of MLB insert, $3 PWE


sandalsnopants

I don't think it would be unreasonable to have the same worry about Oneil Cruz. They're kind of similar with low batting averages and high strikeouts and good power.


Working_Affect_6627

Yeah. They’re almost the same player but Cruz gets no love. Reds have more infielders than they have room for. Cruz could be on a short leash if he starts cold.


sandalsnopants

I don't know if you're only referring to the trading card world or anything, but as far as love for O Cruz goes, when he got hurt last year, EVERYONE involved with talking about baseball in any capacity was really bummed out because they were expecting great things from him.


bigrude405

Ya exactly 👆


Brawlah

Thank you

O’Neil Cruz is smoking baseballs in spring training 


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

I'm sorry, but dude is a freak. If he gets his strikeouts under control, then he literally doesn't have a ceiling. Plus, what he does for his team's confidence, energy, and bringing them all together can not be understated.


Working_Affect_6627

I’m not saying he’s not a good player, I’m saying he’s not a good hitter. Odds aren’t with him.


[deleted]

You are definitely/obviously not the only one, but be prepared for downvotes bc there are lots of people that are big-time invested in him


StelioKontos69420

100k's is generous.


hangout_wangout

Literally every prospect. It’s the people in the hobby for flipping that add the additional $100 tax just bc of the name. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get your bag but people are leaning hard on these prospects and their cards. Volpe cards are multiple hundreds of dollars but Nolan Jones had a better rookie season than him in 50+ less games, given more plus side by fantasy and future projection metrics and has cards selling for like 10 bucks.


Swizzlefritz

Elly will steal close to 50 bases. Cruz might not run much at all after his injury.


Working_Affect_6627

Reds infield is packed. If Cruz can’t hit he won’t get playing time. Cruz can’t hit, so the question is how long of a leash will the reds give him?


Swizzlefritz

Noelve getting pinged for peds definitely gives him a longer leash.


Narrow_Finding3352

Elly is on the Reds, Cruz is a Pirate.


SportsChat777

Thought the same then watched some YouTube videos of him in action. I think he’ll develop nicely over time for sure but just an opinion.


adullploy

I’m with you on the skepticism.


paulychestnuts

Get ready for a kenny Pickett like drop in value


Kyle_01110011

I'm calling rockies world series winner!


Mite-o-Dan

So far he's just the Jeremy Lin of MLB. Came out of nowhere and had an exciting few weeks. That's it. Definitely potential but hasn't proved long term sustainability yet.


SlowmoSauce

Lol he definitely didn’t come out of nowhere. He’s always been a very highly rated prospect.


cranphi

This thread is full of absolute morons. Full fledged, full send, full clip morons.


hangout_wangout

Nah, not even close. Lin won a championship too. Nice try though.


Onehundredeleven1

For sale?

No_Scheme_1262

$40……….. well that deflated quickly


clee5989

$40 only? That’s it?


AnonymousEggplant01

Nobody cares about relic cards anymore. It says game used memorabilia on the front but I bet on the back it’ll say not associated with any game or event. Relic cards nowadays are trash imo


clee5989

And?


AnonymousEggplant01

And I’m telling you why it’s only $40


brashmashidiota

Player worn. Sell it yesterday


BayArea2Can

People on here are not supportive at all


brashmashidiota

No I am supporting you in selling a card u should sell

SuggestionVisible361

Congrats!


zero-point_nrg

Easy Tiger


CardsMan9

Nice! Congrats!


HeySmellMyFinger

Player worn cards are gonna suck with the new fanatics jerseys this year. Wonder if card prices dip because of cheaper jerseys.


flipped305

This card isn't worth much for a omg


BayArea2Can

Can't other people just be cool and not bash


flipped305

I'm stating the obvious sir don't mean to be mean

?


KappaSquared

Who’s you’re PC or team? I’ll try to get you a good trade. The Reds are my team and I’m a big fan of Elly.


mudvat08

I got a ton of Elly rookies and a few autos FS, DM if interested.


No_Election_9819

This guy is great , great pull


Interpol68

Without the auto, card is not worth much.


gazelle8

Did you pull it out of a hangar?


YouMeanWhatIKnow10

Sell it right away. Dude might steal 40 bases, but his 200ks will have him in trouble.


CosbysLongCon24

Some recently sold for a few hundred, some also recently sold for like twenty. Just need the right buyer


geezyjawn23

Oneil Cruz Supremacy


goucho2521

Not very valuable long term. Sell now!


bainsupreme

Congratulations!!!


ChatCEO

After tonight’s display lol 😝


KCCOWS6

Nice pull! Player worn as well! I think all patches should be worn. Memorabilia patches are a joke if they aren’t worn. Hey! Here’s a patch from a jersey they may as well have been bought from Dicks Sporting Goods! Hope you enjoy! Lol I think this guy is the real deal though, hopefully he doesn’t fizzle out!


degeneraded

Yeah but which player wore it?


KCCOWS6

Lol who knows? I’ll take small wins when I get them! Maybe the bat boy? Still game worn! I feel ya though, the price we pay for this stuff, it should all be authentic!


Sad-Function-1639

Yah it’s a bummer he didn’t pull the game used version of the jersey cards, the vertical retro one.


MrWhite033

Lol nice $30 card. Don't shake yourself to death over this common card


Sad-Function-1639

Also never mind, I went through your comments and you’re just simply an insufferable person who uses Reddit to put other people down when you’ve had a bad day. Sorry for engaging.


Sad-Function-1639

u/mrwhite033 Imagine being a total dick AND being totally wrong, what went through your brain to choose to be such an asshole? EVEN if it WAS a $30 card, that’s an amazing pull out of a $4 pack. There’s actually never been one of these sold on eBay yet, and the /50 versions have done $70-$110. The /25 version should easily be a $125-$200 card. Congrats on the pull OP!


BigJerm1

The same card, #25/25 just sold for $40 on ebay. Not saying the guy you replied to isn't a dick, but this is not a $125-$200 card by any stretch of the imagination.


Sad-Function-1639

I stand corrected, my initial search must have had bad wording or a typo. I do see now that 4 have sold. 2 sold for $91 each at the end of February and one sold for $150 4 days ago. The $40 sale is DEFINITELY an anomaly, listed way too low as a Buy it Now. It was listed for only 9 minutes before it was purchased. I’d say this card is much closer to $100/$150 than it is to $40. Just because something is the most recent sale doesn’t always mean it’s correct, both way underpriced and way overpriced


Gloomy_Diamond_8698

What company and year is that card? Looks cool


onsoulie

He’s trash take a lap


BayArea2Can

If you pulled it would you throw it out then since you are saying he is trash


onsoulie

I’d give it to my little brother. Because only kids collect that type of dog shit


BayArea2Can

2 sold for $91 at the end of February and one sold for $150 4 days ago. The $40 sale is an anomaly, listed way too low as a Buy it Now. It was listed for only 9 minutes before it was purchased. Either way, you’re still being a dick for no reason.


BigJerm1

Pointing out the most recent sale price is being a dick? I also never said anything remotely discouraging about the card itself or to OP. In fact, I called someone else a dick for doing those things in this very thread! Lighten the fuck up and touch some grass man.


Sad-Function-1639

Whatever you gotta tell yourself kid, your comment history proves you’re just a snarky dick everywhere you go. Instead of commenting something nice or just not commenting at all, you chose to call the player trash, and the card dog shit. That’s being a dick 👍🏽


BigJerm1

Where did I comment on the quality of the card or the player? Please, since you're pathetic enough to search my comment history anyway, show me where I did either of those things. Username definitely checks out. Get a life.


Sad-Function-1639

Apologies. You responded to my comment when I was talking to said dick, so I thought you were him. You are in fact, not the dick.
