Stephen Strasburg Bowman Prospect 1 - sell now?

[thajayz]

I have a Stephen Strasburg Bowman Prospect 1 card. It is in mint condition. Do you think it would be wise to hold onto it for the long haul or sell it now? Stephen did not pitch that fantastically this past season. Yes, it might have been due to him coming back from the injury. What do you think?

It's just like the ones listed in this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-PSA-10-ST...1060393395?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item35cc45cdb3

It is only an $8.00 card. You have to ask yourself... do you want to keep it in your personal collection or is this another trader.

The thing to remember when you are looking at this card on the eBay link you posted is:

1. The cards listed are GRADED.

2. The seller is selling THREE (3) of them, that's why the price is at $60.00

There's going to be a lot of those cards graded highly as well. With those white borders and collectors already having their eye on getting their Strasburg cards graded, it is no surprise that there are nearly 400 that PSA has given a 10.
That's not counting all that Beckett has graded highly as well.
I would recommend against selling (or getting it graded). It's a nice piece for any collection.

Well, I am not a big fan of his nor am I a fan of the Washington Nationals. I thought that it would rise in value fairly quickly because his career took off so nicely but these past two seasons have been duds. Thanks for the advice.
