1. 2011 Jose Campos Black Onyx COA Card Auto
Its all he has for now, but :
| Team | League | W | L | ERA | G | GS | CG | SHO | SV | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | GO/AO | AVG |
| CSC | SAL | 3 | 0 | 0.56 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16.0 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 18 | 0.82 | .093 |
| Minors | 3 | 0 | 0.56 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16.0 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 18 | 0.82 | .093 |
Yowsers. Add in that he’s a Yankee and just 19, and we have a new young superstar on our hands. Did “Onyx” finally score a coup?
2. 2010 Aflac Dylan Bundy Auto
Touching 99 on the radar gun in his 3rd start, it’s important to point out that he has yet to give up just one hit in those 3 outings, though abbreviated (average start: 3 innings). Still, this kid is the talk of major media outlets like the MLB Netwaork, and this card has rose overnight from $60 to $90+ and rising.
3. 2010 Elite Extra Edition Drew Smyly Autograph RC /799
Moving from $10 on April 10th to close to $20 today (with action on current auctions pointing to the card being worth even more), ASC has been touting Smyly since mid-last year. He beat out Jacob Turner for the 5th Tigers’ rotation spot, and these days, pitching for Detroit gives you a leg up on the competition, as most often, you’ll be pitching from ahead.
4. 2010 Bowman Sterling Taijuan Walker Auto
<Channeling Rob Lowe on the delightful ‘Parks and Recreaction,”> “Literally, this is the most awe-inspiring prospect I’ve ever seen.” Lowe’s character overstates everything on the show, but with Walker he would get it just right. This kid (19 years old, dominating in AA), as his stats show:
| Year | Team | League | W | L | ERA | G | GS | CG | SHO | SV | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | GO/AO | AVG |
| 2010 | Minors | 1 | 1 | 1.29 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7.0 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 9 | 1.40 | .087 | |
| 2011 | Minors | 6 | 5 | 2.89 | 18 | 18 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 96.2 | 69 | 33 | 31 | 4 | 39 | 113 | 1.54 | .202 | |
| 2012 | Minors | 2 | 0 | 1.64 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 11.0 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 15 | 0.55 | .158 |
HIs Sterling Autos move up $13 from $17 to $30 this week.
5. 2010 Elite Nick Castellanos Elite Auto /699
A 10-game hit streak started the season, and dramatic walk-offs have been the norm. Another card we have spotlighted for almost a year at ASC.com is starting to take off. An aspirations /100 auto just went for $22, and a few days later the base cards /699 had matched that. But one can easily see by searching active items, that this card is on the move, as most copies are already at $20 and over and have nearly a week left until the auctions end.
6. 2010 Stephen Strasburg Bowman Chrome Refractor Auto RC /500
7 days ago, this card could be had for $150; Now $200 is the norm, and still seems like a good buy as the “new” Stephen Strasburg did lose velocity, but amazingly, didn’t lose any effectiveness.
7. 2006 Bowman Sterling Mike Napoli Jersey Auto
Before Napoli got hot (3 HRs in 3 games), this card sold for $20, for a count of 2. Days later, $20 would get you just one copy. When are people going to realize the talent here? These cards have nowhere to go but up.
8. 2010 Elite Extra Tyler Austin RC Auto Autograph #/811
These routinely sold for under $10 apiece, but Austin, in the Yankees system, won Offensive Player of the Week in the Sally League and they have jumped almost 100% in the $17-$20 range. MILB.com reports:
Tyler Austin, Charleston
(.438/.471/1.031, 8 G, 14-for-32, 4 2B, 3 3B, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 2 BB, 6 K)
With Dante Bichette Jr. commanding the bulk of the RiverDogs’ playing time at third base, Austin has had to adjust to the outfield in his first Sally League season. The 20-year-old has needed no adjustments at the plate, however — after going 0-for-4 in his Charleston debut, Austin has hits in seven straight games and at least two hits in each of his last five. After hitting six homers in 47 games last year, Austin has three in his last four outings, including a pair in Charleston’s 9-3 win at Rome on Thursday. With four hits on Saturday, the Georgia native’s .438 batting average leads the league and his 1.031 slugging percentage leads the Minors.
