Any Elly De La Cruz love?
I only own a few small cards but thinking of maybe grabbing a few more?
No doubt the kid is talented and fun to watch. https://www.tsn.ca/mlb/elly-de-la-cr...jays-1.2164622

Still very young. Needs to cut down on the strikeouts and become a bit more disciplined at the plate or he'll have a tougher time as he gets older with that tall rangy frame of his. Make that hole in the swing a little bit smaller if possible.
Different positions, but his game reminds me a lot of another Reds player in Eric Davis. Fun and reckless and fast, and maybe just a little bit dangerous. Hopefully he stays healthier then Davis. |

There's likely other players currently that are getting more love/attention but since he just played the Jays the other night, and it was my first time watching him this year, then getting 60 steals, I was curious how much hobby love he actually had? He did pretty good with the Jays and kept the strikeouts to a minimum so maybe things are looking up for him in that dept? Seems like a good kid too. It took a little while, but shortstop Elly De La Cruz became one of the rare 20/60 players in Major League Baseball on Wednesday during an 11-7 victory over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. "It means a lot," said De La Cruz. "I've said before that that's why I'm working the whole season. I feel so proud, so happy."

I would like to own one as I do not have a RC of him yet. I’m not paying stupid $ and still hoping to rip one out of a pack

I have been convinced since around 2010 that I would not rip packs looking for anything again. At the current price of a pack of cards, I can pay up to 200 for anything I want and I am more than likely saving a ton. It’s not as fun, but it sure is more economical.

He has a huge hobby following that have run up his prices to awful heights. I collect him because I collect Reds players. I want a RC auto, but even the cheap autos are more than they should be going for.
His agent is Scott Boras. He won't sign with Cincinnati long term. If I had to point someone in a direction, I would probably point them in the direction of the 2023 Topps Now Call Up parallels or relics. The triple base relic with a picture of him stealing home is awesome. I want that card. I think those have better potential for growth than the crazy prices for 2024 stuff. (here's an example off of ebay). 2023 Topps Now has no other competition, I think there were 17 base cards total with his image. Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk

I remember debating back and forth with myself about those Topps Now cards, but as you can see, I regretfully didn't purchase any of the ones I came across. Thanks for the info, Tim.

His 2022 Bowman 1st cards are still significant, including the parallels, but I've seen the Chrome Mega /99 being offered at $1000. That's slightly out of my price range. He has 2022 Bowman autos that don't have the 1st symbol. Those autos are less pricy, $300 or less on a good day, but they don't have the same popularity. Another pre-rookie auto I like is this one from 2022 Inception (photo from Ebay). It's $250. Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk
