Yoennis Cespedes is the 26 year-old Cuban defector that has begun to make major waves in the card collecting hobby since he began working out for Major League teams over the last week. According to the Beckett Blog, Cespedes had 44 cards (21 of which are memorabilia cards), released in Topps and Bowman products after the 2009 World Baseball Classic. And, with his expected signing this off-season, all of those cards have begun to rocket in price.
After reading a report that likened Cespedes' athleticism to Bo Jackson, I decided that it probably wasn't the worst idea to roll the dice a little and get myself a piece of the Yoennis pie. After looking around a little on eBay and SportLots, I decided to invest $5.75 (including shipping) for a 2009 Topps World Baseball Classic Rising Star Redemption #6 Yoeniss Cespedes.
I also plan on looking for as many Cespedes Bowman base and Chrome cards as I can find tomorrow at my local card show. I will let you know how my little treasure hunt goes.
