Past month of 2010 Bowman Chrome Starlin Castro Auto eBay Sales

At 21 years old and the youngest player in the league, the Chicago Cubs young stud of a short stop, Starlin Castro, is arguably off to one of the best starts of the 2011 MLB campaign. Currently hitting 28-for-67 (.418) and leading the MLB in hits and is among the leaders in runs, triples, and OPS. Castro also has thrived at the top of the lineup. He’s 18-for-32 (.563) and has scored eight runs in seven games as the leadoff man.

Castro is batting .345 since last years All-Star break – no one else in the National League has more hits during that time. More times than not, when checking the box score of the Cubs, you will see Castro names next to multiple hits in that game, he just recorded his ninth multihit game of this season. In his first Major League game on May 7, 2010, Starlin Castro homered in his first plate appearance and set a Major League record by collecting six RBIs in his debut. Castro’s 28 hits through his team’s first 15 games are the most in the Majors since 2000, when Darin Erstad had 29, and are the most for the Cubs in the live ball era.

Now, less than a year removed from that phenomenal debut, Castro has burst out of the gate and is collecting hits at a rate that makes one wonder what other company he might be able to keep.

I have been tracking some of Castro’s sales on eBay since the start of the season. I have broken down his 2010 Bowman Chrome Autograph sales below to show the progression some of card values are taking as Castro becomes more of a household name.

So believe the hype, Castro’s as good as advertised.
