Investments of the Week

2003 Upper Deck Prospect Premiers Daric Barton BGS 9.5 RC - This kid is just 24 years old, and had a few trips to the A's club already. He's a 1st baseman with the skills, just trying to put everything together. It's a gamble, but I've bought a few as I believe he will be pretty good, and this card is priced cheap! The last trade was $.80, and is currently at $2.80/$.80. Good Luck trying to find another BGS 9.5 rookie on the pit, of anyone even close to this kid.

2004 Donruss Elite Extra Edition Auto /803 Chuck Lofgren Rc - Again this guy is around 24 years old, and while his numbers aren't dominate, they aren't bad either. I can't see this card geting any cheaper, other then a major injury. He's shown flashes of brilliance at times, and if he can sustain it, he will be awesome! The last trade was for $1.70, and is currently at $4.50/$1.80.

2007 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks Deolis Guerra Rc - I believe this guy could be the Twins next big time pitcher. He's commonly on www.baseballamerica.com as a guy on the hot list. I expect he'll glimpse the Twins rotation this year, and will stay for quite a while. The last trade was $.40, and is currently at $.80/$.40.

2008 Bowman Chrome Prospects Danny Duffy Rc - Other then playing for the Royals, he has everything going for him. Last year, he held opponents to a 2.98 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 8.88 SO/9, and just 6 Hr's in 126.2 innings. He's only 21 years old, and this card is a steal at $1.50/$.60, with the last trade at $.80.

Investments of the Week

I am going to try and once a week, highlight a few cards from www.thepit.com that are at favorable prices, 52 week highs/lows, good investments, etc. Here are my picks for this week:

2002 Bowman Chrome Uncirculated Albert Haynesworth Rc - This is one of the best defensive line players in the NFL (when he's healthy). The current price on this card is $.10/$1.95, with the last trade at $.15. This is a steal! It's at a 52 week low, and once the NFL seasons begins again, it'll shoot up in value, as his sack total increases.

2002 Bowman Bill Hall Uncirculated Rc - This guy was pretty good for the Brewers a few years ago, now at around 30 years old he's a Red Sox. Granted he's a back up now, but he's just 1 play away from starting. And starting any position for the Red Sox means big increase in card values. The current price is $.05/$.45, with the last trade at $.05, again a 52 week low.

2003 Bowman Chrome Carlos Guzman Uncirculated Rc - This guy hit .290 last year in Hi A ball, 15 HRs, 64 RBI, .800 OPS. He is in the Mets farm system, and currently his cards are CHEAP, at $.15/$.70, with the last trade at $.25. This guy is still just 24 years old. Buy in Bulk!

2008 Razor Metal Limited Edition Casey Kelly - This card has everything going for it, limited print run of just 100 copies, Boston Red Sox Pitcher, just 20 years old, and last year in Low A ball, his stats were 6-1, 1.12 ERA, 0 HR given up, 9 walks, 39 K's, and 0.85 WHIP. This card is currently at $2.00/$3.95 with the last trade at $2.10.

New The Pit.com Blog

I"ve just created this in hopes we can recreate what we had a while ago on thepit.com when we had our own message board on the site.
