If someone was getting into baseball cards for the first time and asked an experience collector what he should know about the baseball card market. One of the age old sayings of 'don't invest in pitchers' would be brought up or something along those lines. However through the sheer brilliance of Fanatics marketing team, we have a Pirates Pitcher card being a likely 7 figure collectible item.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are in the midst of an ongoing cold war between fans and ownership begging the current owner to sell the team. His refusal to spend money on players has discouraged fans and tanked the franchise. This card goes against all the basic rules in sports card investing, a Pirates Pitcher card catching 7 figures is insane.

Traditionally a players best cards are their Bowman 1st superfractor auto and Topps Chrome rookie superfractor auto. Both of which sold for Skenes recently and barely cracked 6 figures, yet how is this MLB Debut on pace to break 7?
