Well the Phillies lost their season opener last night to the Braves 4-1. I guess my dream of them winning 162 games is out the window 🙂 The Phillies have lost 8 out of their last 9 season openers. The Braves played really well and their rookie Jordan Schafer sure had a great game. Schafer became the 99th player in MLB history to hit a homer during his first at bat. As you can imagine his cards have started to really take off in price. Before the game his stuff was selling well, but now its even better. Schafer’s most popular prospect cards come from the already notable 2005 Bowman Chrome Draft set. Recently he has been featured in Donruss’s 2008 Threads set.
