2006 Bowman Draft TRAVIS SNIDER

Current eBay Price—$0.75-1.00

• You are looking at a front runner for 2009 A.L. Rookie of the Year.  At just 20 years old, Snider played at four different levels, including a highly successful debut with the Blue Jays where he hit .301 with 2 HR and 13 RBI.  Watching Snider, it is hard not to be awestruck by the immense power that his robust 5-11 245 lb. frame can generate.  He still K’s way too much which may lead to some slumps this season, but the potential is also there for him to hit 35-40 HR every season for a long time.  Snider’s only major 2006 cards are in the Bowman Draft and Chrome sets and these cards can be found in bulk quantities on eBay.  The recent proliferation of first year autographed cards has had devastating effects on the value of base cards and even chrome cards of today’s top prospects.  However, given that this is his only true 1st year card and the fact that he doesn’t have a ton of autographed cards on the market (yet), there is still quite a bit of value to be had in this fine first year offering.  Want a chrome card?  They can be had for $3.00-4.00 each.
