Looking for a nice leaf auto

Don't to be a jerk, but save your money and wait til he goes into a slump. You don't want to spend $200+ on his auto right now, when you can get it for around $50 when he settles. He has no track record in the minors or majors, just a matter of time...

Ive watched the rise of a lot of ball players and understand they all at some point hit a slump but there's something about this guy that tells me he will be a major factor in LA and baseball. 44 hits in his first month?!!!!!

found a nice leaf auto on ebay for $175.00 - Im a hugh jerk btw

He sure has had quite a month indeed lol, but he definitely will be good but cannot sustain this

Nice, hopefully he can keep it up

The day after McGwire broke Maris' record, I walked into a baseball card shop and sold about 150 McGwire cards for a few hundred dollars. One of the smartest decisions I ever made with cardboard.

Never buy modern cards when the player is hot. The prices always come down. Time to sell Puig, not buy him. Put another way, the prices reflect what you would pay if the guy is a moderate Hall of Famer in 20 years. Much more likely he's the next Ruben Sierra or Andruw Jones....

I agree for the most part but the modern examples given are for players who peaked later in their career as is the case in most instances, however, there is no way Puig is 'peaking' the first month of his career. If he slumps his cards might plateau for a while but I doubt they'll come down. I am on the side of the fence that says buy now because you'll only see an increase later when he leads the Dodgers to the promised land. I would advise you to avoid Leaf though, the non-licensed stuff with no team logos in the Valiant and Memories sets will most definitely come down as the licensed material hits the market which is about to happen. There are redemption inserts for his first licensed auto's in 2013 Bowman and Bowman Inception. I would invest in those or wait for his first Bowman Chrome auto in November which will be widely accepted as his most important autographed card.
