But yes, you could easily plunk down $20 or so for the prospective "correct" RC and just sit on it. Or you could buy 10 of them for $200 and flip them for $50 right after the announcement. Depends on your risk tolerance and storage space.
I think the problem with your theory is that for the most part, the chances a guy makes the Hall are already priced into the cards. The big bump is only going to come for a surprise like Baines.
