Is there anyone that thinks this card was purchased by a Paul Skenes super fan?
It's gambling...I mean, prospecting. Yeah, prospecting.
In other areas beyond the crazy price for a high-end super-prospect there's lesser Superfractor "prospectors" paying thousands of dollars for guys that only have a sliver of Skenes's talent hoping they can flip it during a hot point in their career.
Someone paid $1000 for a Edouard Julien RC Superfractor (PSA 10) 2 weeks ago. He's a defensive average-at-best 25 year old 2nd baseman slashing .245/.358/.428 in 602 PA over 2 seasons...and doing worse this season compared to last year.
The buy-in is much bigger, but I like the chances for the Skenes investor over guys chasing talent like Julien.
