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.

Disagree, this is probably it for him, unless he pulls off a Trout kind of year. His cards are only fetching this much because he barely has any cards. Plus, it's speculation to how long he will last etc., and I don't see Dem Bums going to the promise land anytime soon unfortunately.

His prices are driven by supply vs demand right now. If he had a ton more cards produced, they wouldn't be at these prices. $3,500 for a 1/1 autograph, come on, I got all my signed T206's at half that by HOF'ers and my Gehrig for less than that.
