I clearly remember the day, roughly 10 years ago, that I pulled a 2000 Finest Asadorian out of a jumbo pack. It was then booking at $120! I should have sold it immediately. Still have it to this day.
I distinctly remember seeing a pile of these rookies in a box at the card shop 10 years ago. I don't usually prospect, but I pulled one out of the box and my thought process went something like this:
"Hmm. I've heard this guy's name mentioned during the Yankee game. The announcers put him over as a rising star with electric stuff, but he's only a relief pitcher. Plus, this guy won't come down from the "book value" of $8. I better pass."
Too bad I didn't bite. That was a rookie of Johan Santana. Oops.
Maybe the decimal point is just in the wrong place.

Oh Rick Asadorian how excited I used to be to see your cards. Along with Ryan Anderson you signify my failed attempts at prospecting.
ReplyDeleteI need that card for my every Red Sox ever collection. What would you like for it?
