What Do We Do With Ronald Acuna Jr Cards? 

LOVE you guys, and your input. BEST card talk show, on RU-vid👍🥰

Not the end of the world. He I’ll come back stronger still holding his cards

Greatest thing I've heard on RU-vid in a long time.

Appreciate the honesty and realness. Bummer it happens but it is a part of collecting/investing in modern ball players. Hope Acuna recovers quickly and gets back to something close to 2023 form.

Like Trout 32, and not DEAD, he will be back. Never panic, unless you put all your eggs into one basket.

I’m a true fan of the guy and not in this hobby for the money, I’m keeping them

My collection is a direct extension of my Braves fandom. I don't flip or even sell much of anything outside of upgrades. Not only will I keep my current cards, I'm still planning on expanding my Acuna collection. I love the kid and I always will.

True fan of Acuna Jr!!! I hope he recovers quickly 🙏 and comes back stronger. Ps for me I’m buying everything that i been wanting from his cards. Everyone sells and I pick up 😎👌💯💪🏽

Having dealt with my dogs tearing their ACLs (one dog was both rear ACLs and the other just one rear ACL), the vet told me once one ACL is torn, its a 65% chance the other will go within 18 months and that proved true with my one dog. I understand dogs and humans are different, but sometimes not as different as you might think. Depending on exact surgery, the ACL is usually reinforced meaning it will be stronger than original. The negative of that is that it will be suspectible to arthritis and tightening at an earlier age, but well after playing baseball years.

Dang...I didn't invest but has always appreciated Acuna ! I would have picked a few cards up if they were cheaper! This just stinks for the hobby and the game !! What an amazing season !! Terrible -especially for big investors ! I would be so devastated ! Prayers 2 Acuna and a speedy recovery !!

Very sad day for baseball. I couldn't find an example of an athlete who came back from ACL in two separate knees. Klay Thompson had an ACL tear in one knee and achilles tear in his other leg and played two years later, scoring 20+ ppg. Acuna is still young also, kind of. Maybe move off of Acuna and get some more Ozzie Albies. I have a Topps Now green Acuna auto rookie that's going to be pretty tough to hold on to for much longer.

Chipper mentioned in an interview that first acl was ok to bounce back. The second one is where things get majorly affected unfortunately.

Well that escalated quickly

I do have 2 of the the 94 in topps finest refractors and one came I bought came in a screw down with his name engraved in gold letters above the card. I think one of the highest priced one that sadly I only have 1 of is the 94 topps archives signature series in the sealed holder.

Oh Noooooo! 🍀🙏

My big Acuna cards were meant to be the centerpieces of my collection for the next 15 years. Just sucks so much

...Now I'd bet Atlanta probably wins the WS this year... the positive.

The Braves are going to have to reign Acuna in. Far less running, more DH games, no more winter ball. As much as this sucks for collecting, this really stinks for baseball. I just hate it when the superstars of baseball get injured. Really sucks for the game. I have no idea how anyone stomachs investing in football cards. Every player in the NFL is one hit away from a blown out knee.

I gotta say completely didn't tune In and think I'd here Bukaki party lmao 🤣

Tough news for Ronny. One thing is, he's got a lot of support and will get a standing O when he steps back on the field.

Got a 2023 inception triple auto of acuna, soto, and julio. Torn on selling now or holding for years

Chris, no joking around today because I like Acuna too, but you opposed me on Andruw Jones for the HOF and now with this new injury to Acuna, I don’t see Acuna even getting close to Jones’ accomplishments. It’s unfortunate, but with Acuna’s injury history we definitely needed to see more consecutive seasons from him and now we most likely won’t. The only silver lining for the Braves is that they won without him before and they can do it again. I don’t think it’s hard for Atlanta to cover RF and his offense, but they need to get help in the rotation. Maybe they trade for Luzardo or make a move for someone like that. As far as to sell or not to sell the Acuna cards, I’ll say this. I’m a Lindor guy because I value complete all-around players above all, but Lindor hasn’t been playing up to his standards. That being said, everyone collects differently, which is cool, but I haven’t sold any of my Lindor cards and I won’t. I bought them because he’s my guy and as long as he doesn’t sleep with underage girls and as long as he keeps posting up everyday and playing hard, I’ll still be a fan. The talent Lindor has on both sides of the ball is undeniable and the fact he hasn’t gotten hurt for 9 years at the SS position says a ton. Knock on wood! Anyway, I strongly believe if Lindor had better players around him and/or was on a contending team, we would all consistently see the MVP candidate we saw him to be in past seasons. With this current Mets team, he’s almost expected to be an aircraft carrier, but he is not Yordan Alvarez. He’s a complete player and probably the best defensively at the hardest position to play. Being able to say something like that, even after 9 years, speaks volumes about the kid. In any event, shortstops are not supposed to be aircraft carriers. The aircraft carriers are typically your one dimensional corner outfielders and one dimensional corner infielders (like your boy Devers 😆). Anyway, all I can say is, if Acuna was my guy and I had purchased his cards because of that reason, then I most likely wouldn’t sell them. But I also collect for fun so investors would have a different perspective. I’m probably also the same age as you guys and I don’t like collecting vintage either. I used to collect in the 80s and the early 90s and 75% of those cards are worthless anyway. Besides, I enjoy following today’s games with today’s players. Rickey Henderson was my favorite player as a kid, but he’s not playing anymore. So what fun is that? 😆 We watch today’s players and we play fantasy with today’s players because it’s fun. Therefore, I think collecting modern is what’s fun as well. But again, I mostly collect for fun so I may be in the minority.

You keep them. If you're not in it for money, you'll be fine. We sometimes forget this is a children's hobby.

Stinks when I have 3 nice Acuna’s at grading right now. Hoping they can come back 10s so I can maybe get yesterday’s 9 prices 🤦‍♂️

Sorry Chris. 😞 Koufax's peak is the equivalent of a cf'er hitting 50+ hrs and a gold glove three years in a row.

Tough game we all play with sportscards, unfortunately. Garciapara, J Hamilton, Adrian Gonzalez, Ellsbury, etc had a good year or two and their cards are forgotten. Sad day for fans and collectors.

Saw live stream, is it a tough loss, yeah. Can I be honest? As a Braves fan I'm not really worried. Atlanta has one of the deepest lineups in the majors, even with the injuries. This will move Harris to the leadoff position, hopefully for long-term!

Baseball gods bukkake party?! 🤣

All about risk. I would say any card of any current player over $1000 is very high risk. $3500 is…yikes. I guess if that kind of money is no biggie to you then more power to you.

From the 2018 class Acuna and Ohtani are the more dynamic players but because of injuries so far it's looking like Soto will have the best career from that class. I told my brother when Acuna came back from the 1st ACL tear that if he goes back to trying to steal a bunch of bases its just a matter of time until he has another leg injury. He needs to put his running game behind him for good when he comes back. He can still be a dominant power hitter.

I think I might move a few of the Acuna’s I am solidly still in the green on, and hold some of the others. Always frustrating seeing a generational talent that can’t catch a break

if he can have maybe 6 or 7 years of utter dominance like the two he's already had theres a chance he gets in. Look at Pedro his career was short but his amazing records during his few years got him in no brainer. I think the days of "counting stats" carrying much of the weight for hof induction are over

I’ve been a braves fan since I was a kid and I’m 45 now. This makes me feel like my favourite of all time Steve Avery and if he didn’t get into shoulder issues I think he could’ve possibly given maddux a run for his money and surely would have out played glavine and smoltz for sure. I loved that whole rotation except Pete smith was only so-so for me. I am not heavily invested in Acuna but I am in Olson and I would love to pick up a few more gems of his and then would love to see him pick up his play from last year. Hopefully he can come back and make some what of a career because after Avery left Atlanta, I knew he was basically done. So the next question is does Acuna stay in Atlanta because he is sadly injury prone and I think after 2 knee surgeries, and what they had expected of him is over. No matter if he comes back next season, it has to be on every braves fan, investor, team mate, coach and owners mind will be is he going to be an asset to have to baby him or cut their losses and move on. A sad day for sure and not just for the sports card hobby/industry but mlb as a whole, players seem to be more susceptible to injury more and more each year and no matter who it is or what team, it affects some more than others but with this we have also seen attendance and tv viewers on baseball as a whole dropping because many of the star players are getting hurt more often.

Hey guys! IMO, he still has a path to 500 hrs. My gage is always 250 by age 30. Big thing with him isn't CAN he get there with his bat, but can his knees hold up into his mid to late 30s.

His hobby history might be similar to Bo Jackson's. Still very collectable with a big following, but not a HOFer.

Vintage is risky because they might find dead kids in a HOFer's basement? That's really stretching to imagine a negative about vintage. That's the pain talking.

He might pull a Ohtani!!! When he got injured came back and won MVP 🤷🏽‍♂️👌💪🏽💯

The silence at 2:00 😂

Sad to see, but there is still hope for him be back in 2025.

Unload all of his cards even his rookie cards!

I hate to see great talent fall to the injury bug... I own zero acuna and I may be buying the coming dip. I will protect myself a little buying raw. Go braves

Superstars have no business stealing bases. It’s not worth the risk.

Time to buy Acuna

Hey guys...this sucks ....BUT...I...will definitely be buying the dip...probably in December.. he'll be back...he's too young...and too FU#$IN AWESOME..

I've said it before but we have a terrible habit in the hobby of assuming that a players best season is the new normal season. remember jeff mcneil won a batting title, lol. anything can happen, human beings are incredibly unpredictable

Baseball is tough to many players

😂😂😂

Ugh. I know this is purely for selfish reasons but I sold my ‘09 trout in 2018 (dumb I know) but always held my ‘17 Acuna. Was REALLY hoping he’d kill it this year so I could trade the Acuna to get Trout back with minimal cash on my end lol. Oh well such is the nature of sports cards. On a serious note Acuna going down is so bad for baseball and a huge bummer.. hope he makes it back stronger than ever.

Sorry guys. Hope springs eternal. Sell before the 2025 season. Multiple season ending injuries at 26 spells disaster.

bo jackson didn't play long. people will remember mr. 40-70

Baseball cards are not investments … all these podcast breaking down stats and comps don’t mean anything when a player can literally break a leg Tommorow … spending thousands on these cards are laughable thank God any decent Acuna card I got was FREE

Hold them

Acuna Franco who's next

Never invest in this new garbage you will lose your shirt ,,buy ruth cobb etc

What's this "sell tomorrow" ? You should have put him out on eBay before even doing the video.

Grab some Soto or Elly imo

everytime a superstar goes down i buy another cal ripken jr. card, lol

Please don’t root for Nationals

Baseball after 2020 is valueless...the pastime had a very precise design, and purpose...SPEEDING UP THE GAME HAS RENDERED IT POWERLESS..(automatic ghost runners on 2nd in extra innings? BASEBALL SHOULD NEVER BEND AND PANDER TO A GENERATION OF INTERNET foooooolsss ,, The Game exsited outside the fabricated concept of time , because there was NEVER ANY CLOCK...BASEBALL WITH A CLOCK,,Is NOT BASEBALL AT ALL" magic is "timeless " not timed* .this is all destroying the game, and everything it should be..

how about stop wasting big $$$$ on players that have injury issues and have only been in the league a few yrs,buy vintage,Braves won the world series without him so they don't really need him yes he's a good player but next man up move on....
