BST Auctions (and players who came out of no where)

[ksabet]

The upcoming BST Auction is really loaded. I was surprised because they seemed to come out of nowhere. But some of the items are really incredible.

So my ignorance is kind of funny, because when I kept hearing about the BST Auctions I thought it was an extension of NET54 and the BST section.

Question 1: Who are they? I am assuming based on their upcoming auction that they seem trusted to get strong prices.

Question 2: This got me thinking of players who came completely out of nowhere and just exploded onto the scene. (I know some were steroids but lets turn a blind eye for this thread)

I quickly recalled Kevin Mitchell in 1989.
Mike Piazza based on his draft position.
Lastly, Mark Fydrich was insane for a year but I can't remember if we was highly thought of prior to his breakout season.
