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.
