#17 Matt Kemp
I can see where people get frustrated with baseball cards. Here you have a great card of a young prospect, but there is so much more than meets the eye here. First off, Bowman Chrome sets aside about 30-40 prospect cards each year, and all of the cards issued for that player are autographed and they are within the regular set. Not a subset. But there are different versions of each card, with each different version more and more limited. These are the 2005 options.
Regular Chrome Version - maybe 1000 copies?
Refractor (Rainbow effect) - 500
X-Fractor (Pictured Above) - 225
Blue - 150
Gold - 50
Red - 5
Gold Super-Fractor - 1
I guess you can say that there are different versions based on how much you want to spend, but the days of just having one rookie card to chase are long gone. I always wanted the Blue one, but they always look off-centered and a PSA 10 seems hard to come by. This is the only PSA 10 X-Fractor of the 7 that have been graded.
I like seeing these pics of kids wearing crazy uniform numbers. Reminds us that they were all young once. Like seeing Piazza wearing #60 in 1992 Donruss.
Bonus Card this week!!
Can I just say that this card is really fucking cool? I hope to look back at this card in 20 years and say wow, Topps got this dual auto card right. Two perfect, clean on-card autos, and great artwork. Topps is attempting to pay tribute to the old Chicle brand cards from the 1930's with this set. Only 25 of these issued.

We have a better chance of getting Fielder than Braun
But yeah that would be a hell of an OF to go with Ethier.

Great cards Delias
I like the Braun and Kemp card, a lot.
The 2005 Bowman has a 89-90 donruss feel to it. Whatever year Greg Maddux was a rated rookie.
Cool that you have the only GM 10 of those.
How does the worth of the card differ from the X-fractor vs Blue or Gold?
Nice job.
I have
a Donruss Rated Rookie Mark McGwire card. Too bad it’s not worth shit now. Held on to it too long.

Some of my biggest profit margin was made on 2005 Bowman Chrome Kemp. I bought a ton when they first came out, made about $1500 in profit and still have a gold refractor, 2 blues, 2 xfractors and 3 regulars. I might be looking to buy more if his prices continue to drop.
As for that card, it sure is a pretty one, but it shows why PSA is so far behind BGS on modern grading. Almost every Kemp xfractor I’ve seen has some form of an xfractor line, and this one is no different. BGS kills the card for such a pronounced line, but PSA usually ignores it.
I will never trust BGS. I sent them a 9.5 2003 Bowman Chrome Billingsley Xfractor last year for crossover service to get a PSA 10. PSA rejected and sent it back as trimmed, and sure enough, the card was 1/8 inch short when i compared it to the PSA 9 that i had. BGS fail.
By my rule of thumb, all grading companies are corrupt and awful. I have so many stories about cards crossing over, not being crossed over, getting grade bumps, etc it would make you sick. I think SGC is the best, but unfortunately they only are relevant in pre-war.

They’re by far the best for vintage stuff, especially pre-war. I find them to be the most honest and ethical of the grading companies. It just sucks that anything they grade other than pre-war suffers a hit when compared to PSA and BGS.

I started doing 1939 Play Ball Dodgers about 10 years ago
But i was thinking my collection would get too big. So i made 1950 the cutoff. I bought a raw Van Lingle Mungo for $5 had it graded to 8 and sold it for almost 200. Then bought a 65 Koufax with that money. I would trade Mungo for Sandy any day.
You need to make a few exceptions! Extend the cutoff to 1948 and you get both Jackie rcs, Campy RC, Hodges RC, Snider RC, Reese Rc.

Love this series
But I have never gotten into the cards with autographs, or chrome, gold, or silver bullshit. Give me a cardboard card and I’m good.
I had a bunch of NBA cards way back when (not sure why). It seemed like Swen Nater was in every pack!

true story
I don’t go to alot of games. So this one time in the 8th inning with the dodgers down by a shitload, i moved on down to the first level right behind first base with my hope to be girlfriend. She said wow this is way better than the blue section by the foul pole. It’s like a totally different game!! We were buzzed..Ok drunk, anyhow… I also do not heckle or boo. But I was trying to get laid, so as Mondy stepped into the box I stood up and yelled at the top of my lungs, feel free to go fucking yard Mondy. All 1,400 fans still there musta have heard me. I know he did cause as he stepped in the box he looked over..On the first pitch he hit a lazer to the left field pavilion. We had a perfect view. To make the score 10-4..As he got to home plate he looked right at me. The other derelicts still there high-fived me. And yes you horny bastards I did get some later that night.

Relievers don’t touch the bat during the season, but starters, especially in the spring, we hit every single day.

I think I had a couple hits in Memphis but it wasn’t too glorious.

Not much news, but understandable
but from Scott Miller:
Not that the Dodgers are actively shopping the man who eventually was removed from the closer’s role as their 2010 season swirled down the drain. But they’ll listen.
Broxton was 5-6 with 22 saves in 64 appearances last season and, as things went south for him, started “pitching scared”, in the words of one scout.

got me a topps 206 ryan braun auto
one of my favortie players, a cool thing about baseball cards is that i just got one pack for shits and giggles for like $5 and i get a ryan bran auto :)
