Potential Baseball Hall of Famers (Part 2 of 3)
Nolan Arenado
Winner of five Silver Slugger Awards and 10 Gold Gloves, Arenado is one of the best all-around players of his generation. Arenado spent the first eight seasons of his career in Colorado, where he was an All-Star five times. Cooperstown voters tend to view offense statistics accumulated in Colorado skeptically, but Arenado has been an All-Star in each of the last two seasons since moving to Saint Louis and is showing no signs of slowing down. As a result, Arenado’s time with the Rockies should not be a detriment to his Hall of Fame case.
Arenado has a prospect card in 2010 Bowman Chrome and his rookies are found in 2013 Topps Chrome and Chrome Update. Collectors tend to prefer the Chrome Update as it is perceived to be harder to find than the regular Chrome edition. The Chrome Update is $60 in PSA 9 and $300 in PSA 10.
