New buying thread 🧵

Starting with some highlights from the last week:

[Farb @Himme94]

Luke Adams is another prospect whom I’ve been waiting awhile for his KPIs to translate into his topline numbers. Hobby wise, I could really see him being the next Sal Stewart. Stewart’s cards stagnated forever until the day they didn’t, and then very very quickly took off 📈📈

[Spencer Michaelis @smichaelis234]

Luke Adams just hit his third homer of the game to make it 10-8 in the 9th inning

102.6 MPH, 404 FT

1.013 OPS now

[Farb @Himme94]

So they break the rules, then they
whine and cry about it nonstop so they get away with it & face 0 consequences. And then they go right back to playing the victim card lol. It’s all so transparently disingenuous

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into MLB, claiming the league may have discriminated against four San Francisco Giants pitchers on religious grounds after they spurned the team’s Pride Night attire. https://t.co/iJYU0V4Q0a

Feels like I’ve held these cards for 20 years waiting for Jesus Baez’s pretty trackman data to translate into actual performance. Folks, the worm has turned

[Peoria Chiefs @peoriachiefs]

The Chiefs single-season High-A home run record belongs to Jesús Báez!

Number 14 on the season ties a career high for Báez and makes it 5-2 in the third.

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Freddy Peralta will be seeking a contract in free agency similar to the 8-year, $218 million deal that Max Fried signed, per @BNightengale

Peralta has a 3.63 ERA and a 4.01 FIP in the first 13 starts of his contract year.

@BigBobsCards Think there’s any case to be made for submitting to bgs right now? I have a lot of bowman first autos in that ~$50-100 range I was planning to send to PSA, and I just hate the thought of sitting on them for minimum 4+ months

[Farb @Himme94]

Past 2 nights, I’ve had 2 buyers hit the bin on some of my Juneiker Caceres stash that was listed BIN/OBO. After selling almost all of my DFG 💎just a few weeks too early this season, think I’m going to keep my other Caceres in the holster. Elite hitting prospect

[Farb @Himme94]

@wetworkarchive The solution imo is that @SeanMcCarthyCom & @nycguidovoice are basically on the podcast waiver wire right now

[Farb @Himme94]

Some of my last PSA subs for awhile. Wish I’d been more aggressive on Josiah Hartshorn and Taitn Gray during the off-season. Jack Gurevitch inscrutably remains a very good buy. Looking forward to these popping during the AOC administration

[Farb @Himme94]

One of my best decisions in recent years was steadfastly ignoring all of the ‘Don’t buy catchers’ takes regarding Alfredo Duno & Nathan Flewelling.

Carlos Virahonda’s elite defense, .238 ISO, 88% z-con and goofy cheap prices are increasingly giving me very very similar vibes…

[Farb @Himme94]

At this time last year, I was screaming at anyone who’d listen that people in the hobby were seriously undervaluing Alfredo Duno based on a superficially underwhelming topline performance from an 18 y/o C in A-ball. Folks, don’t make the same mistake with Nathan Flewelling

[Farb @Himme94]

@KareemSSN Don’t necessarily disagree, but 73% z-con in his 3rd season at A+ isn’t exactly ideal?

[Farb @Himme94]

And this little bulk sub from earlier this week. Still time to get in on Jack Gurevitch folks!

[Farb @Himme94]

Been awhile since I’ve felt like posting, but here are some recent PSA subs since mid-April 🤞

Tanner Franklin definitely looking like 1 of my best investments. Wish I bought more Sean Keys, Anthony Eyanson & Josiah Harthsorn. Vidourek & Jimenez 🥴

[Farb @Himme94]

@MikeG1019 Had some refractor and hta 💎I sold for $250-300 around the same time I sold the true blues. I remember thinking ‘He might be a poor man’s Kevin McGonigle but I’m ok leaving a little $ on the table.’ Now I’m sitting here like oh fuck he’s literally just Kevin McGongile lol

[Farb @Himme94]

Not sure I’ll ever regret taking a relatively huge profit as much as I regret selling these 2 DFG True Blue 💎 ~4 weeks ago for $625 & $600

Even the 2 purple DFG 💎 I sold for $400 respectively almost 2 weeks ago, I also undersold those with the benefit of hindsight 😞

[Farb @Himme94]

Had a few other DFG 💎and a whole stash of raw DFG I’ve also
already sold. All I have left is this nice stash of 9s I’m about to list for sale

[Spencer Michaelis @smichaelis234]

Braylon Payne and Marco Dinges just went back-to-back…

Payne already has six homers and now a 1.313 OPS

Dinges has four homers and an 1.173 OPS
