Razor Entertainment and Prospecting – My 2¢

For the last few days I have been researching and reading about the Razor Entertainment Group and their venture into baseball cards, specifically propecting.  I have held off writing a post about it because everyone was doing the same old thing.  I think its great that Razor has decided to start making baseball cards.  A little competition won’t hurt the hobby.  Many people don’t like the idea about Razor signing some of this year’s top draft picks because they are big fans of products like Bowman, Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects, Bowman Chrome, and Tristar Prospects Plus.  Since Razor has signed some of this year’s biggest prospects, that means only Razor can produce cards of those players.  That has gotten a lot of people made because their not used to Razor products and want to stick with their normal brands.

Here is what I think about the whole situation.  Do these prospects have a chance of doing great and making it to the pros? Yes.  Every year new prospects get their first baseball cards made of them and people spend a ton on their cards.  Most of the time these cards shoot up in value and then after awhile the prices drop when some new players come around to collect.  What I think Razor is doing will be great for the hobby.  Competition will force other companies to make better products.
