Spent around $60 to get the Chiefs and won a card that could be worth a grand during the season. It seems like the price of his cards have takenca slight drop in value, but should start to go up during the season (especially if he has a year even close to last year).
Another thing I have made an investment in is some Raul Mondesi Jr. cards. If he stays anywhere close to his current pace, then holy shit theyll be worth a shit ton.
I have 3 Mondesi cards I bought off eBay and im waiting on those to get here and then I have 1 Mondesi that I got from a card shop for 10 bucks. Im definitely going to send these in for a grade, will probably just do PSA since its easier to get 10s with them and they respected.

Nice Mondesi stuff. Could be the rare Royal that gets a national following.
A few weeks ago, I got the itch to look for some online baseball auctions (not ebay) and found a local one doing an estate sale for a TON of Royals stuff. This guy had several hundred signed baseballs, among other things. The auctioneer put the balls into lots of 6-10 and got pretty lazy because he would only indentify one or two of the obvious autographs. The others weren't even mentioned and not even photographed to be easily read, they were just kind of in a pile.
So one lot was advertised as George Brett, and there was a nice Brett auto ball. The other 5 weren't named, and I could only make two of the others for sure--Paulo Orlando on a 2015 WS ball and oddly, Bob Feller. The 4th one I was pretty sure was Bo Jackson, but the picture was bad. The 5th one was a '15 WS ball, with part of the sig barely visible, but I had hope it was someone in particular---but I wouldn't know til I picked it up. The 6th I couldn't tell at all. So my winning bid was $175
So I go to pick up and its basically a Royals museum in the dead guy's basement. The 4th ball was a Bo Jackson, so that's great. The 5th was what I was hoping--'15 WS Yordano Ventura. Yes! And the one I couldn't see at all--'15 WS "Raul" Mondesi. I was pretty happy.
None were authenticated, but this guy had photos of himself with Royals players, coaches, and staff going back 40 years, so I'm fairly certain it's all legit stuff.
