MLB Generation Next (Part 2)
Ozzie Albies
Club: Atlanta Braves
Position: Second Base
Age: 24
Verdict: Buy
Albies is now in his third full Major League season, and he is one of the most underrated young players in the game today. He hits for average and power, and at age 24, he has already earned 2 All-Star appearances, won a Silver Slugger Award, and led the National League in hits. Currently, PSA 9 copies of his 2018 Topps Chrome (pictured) and Topps Chrome Update can be obtained on eBay for less than $30. Considering what it costs to have PSA grade a card these days, Ozzie’s 2018 Topps Chrome cards seem wildly undervalued.
How about you? Are there young baseball players that you are excited about collecting? I would love to hear from you. Please leave your comments in the section below.
