I had to grab a Julio SP rookie card. No Ragrets! I’m a big believer. I also love Spencer Strider. His stuff is filthy! If he can stretch out and pitch that way for 5-7 innings he’s going to be great.
@@daltongorham6768 sure. I understand the value can definitely go down after the release hype is over. I could lose a good amount of value by buying early. But what if he wins rookie of the year or just continues to have a great rookie season’s and the price shoots up even higher? It’s a gamble. I’d rather buy it now for my collection at a price I can afford.
Completely agree with this!! JRod is the truth, he’s been playing outstanding in the BIGS, as a rookie to lead all of majors in steals is extremely talented, kids a stud !!
Great list! I love the amount of research you do and the fact that you have a formula for a ranking system that you created for your list!! I watched a guy the other day do a top 5 list and he admitted that he had no idea how the 4th and 5th ranked guys on his list were doing so far this season. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your work!! I’m going to start kinda chasing J-Rod and BWJ, but Yepez is my main rookie chase!
I got a SP Julio Rodriquez today and I know he's a good rookie but had no clue how valuable the card is until I looked it up after watching your video.
Good take Scottie! I’m targeting Bobby Witt #1. Julio #2. They both continue to get better. I like Witts raw power s little bit more than Julio. Julio is a hell of a defensive centerfielder. He’ll win multiple gold gloves. But Witt will hit 30-50 HRS every year from age 24-34. Count on that!
Just glad I bought plenty of Julio Rodriguez Bowman and sealed 19 Bowman wax. That year could be so big with others besides Wander coming up through the minors.
he's a great player but starting in the MLB at 27 yrs old isnt good for his HOF chances. If he does he might be the only player in history to do so. If he remains as dominant maybe he will, Ill def hold onto his card if I pull it but for the price of his cards so far might not be worth 2 bills for me
I think that could be smart. Maybe even in the end of the regular season could be a good time for these since they most likely won’t make the playoffs.
not that rare talked to a guy got 2 in a jumbo, its not a acuna bat down short print first week of release ebay was flooded with them kinda dissappointing but its shorter then normal which is great I think itll still maintain value around $200-$300 when the dust settles
@@mickey-eq5vw I just picked up one of the Julio autos which I'm super excited about. I got a good deal on it, at least for what's available now, but very curious if these cards will hold their value.
@@mickey-eq5vw I hope I get one (or both!?!) Of Julio and Witt in my hobby box. I dont want them to be so rare that they're a case hit. I won't buy a single on ebay yet though bc the early market prices may drop as more hit the market.
@@Mattymatty2000 wow beautiful card!! its a good investment other then some umpire issues early in the season its amazing how good he adjusted to mlb pitching and how good he is doing already, I picked up a his auto 2 years ago no regrets plan on sitting on his cards for a long time
I would say Julio Rodriguez number one I agree I bought a box of tops series 2 baseball and pulled over Julio Rodriguez and I put it on eBay to sell sold for a lot of money so people like him
Thanks for the analysis but I will wait for the season to play out and for all products to be released before picking who I will be "investing" my time and energy into. Until then, anything will be luck from opening boxes here and there.
Question is in the future will the SP or the update be the more popular card? Harpers multiple Topps rookies are about the same in price. There isn't one way above the other. History says the update becomes the iconic card of these three.
I don’t know, man. It might be an isolated example but Acuna’s series 2 short print rookie (bat down) is an image variation short print just like Witt, Julio, and Torkelson in this years set. Acuna’s series 2 SP rookie is worth way more than his base Update rookie. I think only time will tell. I have FOMO for sure though.
So interesting thing about Bryce Harper is that his true flagship rookie (661A) was a series 2 SSP. A base PSA 9 sold for close to 2k on auction last week. Only 400-500 total are graded between PSA, SGC, and BGS. The other variants of the 661 card (I believe three exist) are only complete set versions and not pack pulled. His true flagship SP is much much more desirable than these variants and the update. It’s such a rare card not many people know about it.
Julio is the real deal, without question. As far as Torkelson, the only reason he’s in the bigs is because he’s a Tiger. He’d be AA at best anywhere else. I always hope for the best, but I personally wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t pan out.
Kwan is intriguing, but Peña is someone I'm excited about. I was hoping he would make S2 but I'm actually glad now that he didn't because Update looks like it will now be a good product as well. I probably won't buy any Update, but I will start saving for a couple boxes of Update Sapphire (assuming they'll produce it). I bought 2 boxes of Update Sapphire this year and loved it. I got some nice color out of it, including the Jazz Chisolm RC auto /25 in orange. I'll buy 2022 Update Sapphire with THIS rookie class for sure!
The jrod n witt topps series 2 1987 auto our beautiful cards!! The witt with the grey border and the jrod wit the blue 🔥🔥🔥 That would be an incredible pull!
Great vid.....The giddiness and speculation of the last decade is over..... get your want lists ready for the next decade.... every RC in high grade that you covet..... we will be able to buy them much much lower in the next several years.... high interest rates are entering and easy money is exiting. We are really going to see and feel the over production when the selling starts.... hopefully gradual and methodical over a decent sized time frame.
Oh Topps is racist against Asians because....well, they don't hire Asian talent scouts? Sorry topps...it's 2022...time to send scouts to Asian countries because....they play baseball there too.
@@ftheatom8619 thats not true there is drafts, minor leagues farm systems in place in our own country and still a good amount of asians, this is america the land of capitalistic greed if it makes money it makes sense if an asian player is good and can make the hobby n mlb money like ichiro and ohtani they will get behind them %110 the only color that matters is green
I’m 30 seconds into this video right now and all I have to say is that if Julio Rodriguez isn’t in ur #1 spot then I can’t take any stock in your opinion

I’m waiting to grab mine til the off-season. Can I ask why you decided to buy so early?

Congrats on the fun buy. He looks really good. I hope that the print runs are low enough that it works out and you make a killing 🤞
I just pulled one out of a blaster box
Yet another informative and well presented video Scottie! Keep up the fantastic work!
Completely agree with this!! JRod is the truth, he’s been playing outstanding in the BIGS, as a rookie to lead all of majors in steals is extremely talented, kids a stud !!
Agreed, I think he is the most dynamic rookie since Tatis, Acuna, and Soto. Hopefully he can stay healthy and keep playing so well.

😆 end caught me with your old dilapidated tripod
U r right on point!!! Julio is a 5 tool stud! This dude is gonna be a future MVP
Pulled a Shane Baz 87 Topps auto black in my jumbo box. Very pleased. May try to grab a Witt or Rodriguez SP at some point.
Great overview for the new RC' s.... always great info, tks, luv what you do❣️✌️
Just glad I bought plenty of Julio Rodriguez Bowman and sealed 19 Bowman wax. That year could be so big with others besides Wander coming up through the minors.
What do u think about Zac veen ,I have a atomic out of 100 cracked ice auto ,I think I want to sell it . Should I? 😊
What about seyia suki from the Cubs

What about cj Abrams
U forgot Michael Harris!...great video..
Cool. I'll buy some in the offseason.
I think that could be smart. Maybe even in the end of the regular season could be a good time for these since they most likely won’t make the playoffs.
I pulled the julio rodriguez 1987 35 Ann. Paper base auto
Enjoyed part 2! Nice bonus scene! Lol
Can you do a viid on the history of the baseball farm system? I would love that.
Thanks for the help on that betts card
Will Michael Harris II be in next series ?
When does the set come out ?
This set is now released!
I'd love to hear your thoughts, Scottie, on the short print cards specifically. How rare are they really? Thanks for the great videos!

@@scottiebcards2354 dang….. I didn’t know about it either. 😮
topps #661 💥
Harper has a SSP flagship rookie that is tough to find anywhere. One of my grails. That card has always been very expensive.
defensively tork looks great

Blue jays Moreno ?
Moreno is a no brainer. Keep them quiet and get them cheap at the moment!
Hey Alf, I don't believe he is on this checklist. If he was he would definitely be in the top 15.
I hope he is part of Topps update
No one talks about Steven Kwan. His only card is a topps now. How is it he didnt even have a bowman card ?
It is interesting who did and did not get a rookie here. He will highlight in update with Gore, Pena, Suzuki, and others.
Kwan is intriguing, but Peña is someone I'm excited about. I was hoping he would make S2 but I'm actually glad now that he didn't because Update looks like it will now be a good product as well.

I would move all pitchers down they are just so injury prone and hitters even if lesser talents sell better
Jeremy Peña will be rookie of the year. They’re probably holding him back for update series.
LMAO
It's going to be Julio Rodriguez.
Random comment just to help support the channel.
Juuuulllioooooo!!!
He's looking solid!
One day we will all regret not buying more of the JRod SP. “I remember when you could buy that card raw for $250-$300”
So will this always be considered his true rookie! Or will it go to update?

Yeah pretty tough omission. He will make Update a good product as well though.

Where’s Rutschman
Shane Baz has the potential to be last year --> this year's Shane McClanahan and Manoah
J-Rod is the real deal but I think it's crazy people are paying so much for his SP...it's not SSP, correct?
Apparently it's a short print but not numbered
Awwe man, you mean we won't be receiving 1,000's of these guys' cards opening stuff like we did Wander & India et al? 🤣
Torkelson looks like a bust still early tho
