Hey Phil,
Oh no, in my post I said I learned to stay away from those 1st Bowman autographed pre-rookie cards. I never bought the low serial #'d crazy priced ones anyways. I've done ok with some "under the radar" prospects like Lindor at the time was reasonably priced for a #'d /500 one. But for every one like him, I busted on like 10 others. Now, I do buy all the Pirates still but they never have a prospect that gets those crazy prices...ha! But I do have a Gerrit Cole auto #'d/150 that I paid a couple hundred for that worked out.
So yeah that's why I now wait to buy their Topps Gold parallel RC cards because that way I'm not taking a risk on a 17 year old in low-A that probably won't ever even make the majors. And if I do want autographed cards, I like the Gypsy Queen and Topps Museum issues for those because I like the look of them.
