Regrets, I’ve Had A Few … (Part 1 of 2)

Todd Helton

Helton played his entire seventeen-year career for the Colorado Rockies.  He was a five-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove winner, and four-time Silver Slugger recipient.  Hall of Fame evaluators often view with skepticism the offensive stats of players who spent a lot of time in Denver’s thin air, but Helton only missed enshrinement by eleven votes in 2023.  He is likely to get the call to the Hall in 2024.  Helton’s rookie is from 1993 Topps Traded.  In PSA 9 this is a $60 card.

How about you?  Do you enjoy prospecting, or do you focus on established veterans?  Are there baseball players from the past that you believe are underappreciated in the hobby?  I would love to hear from you!  Please leave your comments in the section below.
