New York Mets prospect Brett Baty is years away from starring in the big leagues—if he ever gets there at all. The first-round pick from 2019 is already drawing some hype, especially in the baseball card collecting world.
Yes, people still collect baseball cards. And yes, there are some out there who believe in Baty enough to spend thousands of dollars on a piece of cardboard with his image and signature on it.
While perusing eBay, I happened to come across some valuable Baty items which have sold in recent months. There are several autographed cards of his which have been listed as high as $16,000.
