This is not buying or investment advice. I’m simply reporting the data I’m seeing. Please do your own research and make your own decisions. Just because cards have increased in value up to this point, it doesn’t mean they will continue to do so.

I’m getting all of this data from either the Market Movers or Card Hedge platform. These are not my platforms, I’m simply a user and affiliate of them. If you want to do your own research, you can grab a free trial to Market Movers with code BALLCARDGENIUS. You’d also get 20% off of your membership forever if you wanted to continue once your trial has been completed. You can also grab a free trial for Card Hedge as well.

These tools aren’t perfect; no tool is. I’ve seen instances where a graded card was being included in the raw numbers, which might cause a misleading spike in value. So trust, but verify.

Somebody’s first career hit was a home run this week. Actually, that happened to quite a few players!

Four more players make today’s list, bringing us to eight in total over the last couple of days for anyone who missed yesterday’s article.

Players are debuting, getting promoted, changing organizations, or simply raking their way into the hobby spotlight.

Here are four more prospect autos making moves.

Roccaforte’s 2023 Bowman Draft #CDA-CR Chrome Prospect Auto (1st) is up 495% over 30 days, with the last sale at $13.39 on 8/6 against a $9.71 average.

Roccaforte has simply been raking at Double-A Northwest Arkansas all summer, and this week was the loudest stretch yet. He belted four home runs in a single week’s span, the latest sign of a power breakout that’s already up to 25 homers on the year between two levels. He’s long been regarded as a plus defender in center, but it’s the newly discovered pop that has evaluators buzzing about a big-league timeline sooner than expected. [Source]
