Our take

Fringe prospect, expensive market.

Anthony Frobose scores 50 out of 100 (#1968 of the 7,922 we score), and the case rests on one thing: power: plus — .188 ISO — isolated power — slugging minus batting average, so hits that go for extra bases Better than 86% at his level.

His core Bowman card has been selling at $3–7 off 10 confirmed sales.

The thing most likely to be wrong here: swing-and-miss — contact grades 34 on the 20–80 scale (36.5% K). strikeout rate, inverted — lower means more bat-to-ball

The signal

  • Contact: bottom of the scale

    36.5% K — strikeout rate, inverted — lower means more bat-to-ball

  • The case is fading

    Baseball momentum 0/100 — the on-field case is fading. Read from his baseball alone — never from what his cards did.

  • Power: plus

    .188 ISO — isolated power — slugging minus batting average, so hits that go for extra bases Better than 86% at his level.

  • Premium position

    SS — the bat does not have to carry the whole profile.

  • Speed: above average

    36 SB per 600 PA — stolen bases per full season of plate appearances Better than 63% at his level.

  • What the hobby pays up for

    SS is a position the hobby pays up for; only 19.0 — years of runway.

Why now

No catalyst right now — no promotion, no logged step change, and no measurable move in his card prices. This is a valuation-driven watch rather than a timing one.

What could go wrong

  • Swing-and-miss

    Contact grades 34 on the 20–80 scale (36.5% K). strikeout rate, inverted — lower means more bat-to-ball

  • Nothing has sold

    No confirmed sale of any card of his in 90 days, so nothing on this page can tell you what a fair price is.

  • Benchmark not checklist-verified

    His core card was identified from how raw base 1st bowman chrome auto sellers describe it, not from a checklist. The identity is likely, not established.

  • Asks above the sold band

    Every live card of his we can price is asking more than these have actually sold for, so today's entry is at a premium.

What the hobby pays for him

Benchmark card: 2026 Bowman Chrome 1st Auto — raw, base, unnumbered.

This is his benchmark, not the value of any particular card in front of you — a /250 is a different market.

The card that matters

A card-quality answer, not a price one. It does not change when a seller changes their mind.

2026 Bowman Chrome 1st Auto

Raw base 1st Bowman Chrome Auto

The canonical prospect vehicle — every player who has one is compared on it. Identified from 45 independent sellers describing it — likely, not established.

A card is never the one to own because it is numbered. Scarcity is a modifier on a vehicle, not a vehicle — a /25 of a card nobody collects is a rarer version of nothing.

Best value right now

Where the money would go today, which is frequently a lesser card than the one above — or nowhere.

No good entry today

The closest to fair is ANTHONY FROBOSE 2026 BOWMAN CHROME PROSPECT AUTO NEW YORK METS #CPA-AER 1ST at $21.31, 434% over the $3.24–6.99 that copies of it have confirmed sold in. Nothing of his is currently below its own sold band.

That card at or under $3.24 delivered would be at the bottom of what it has actually sold for.

What he is good atSkills 49 on the 20–80 scale, against 1087 hitters at Rookie

What he is good at

skills overall 49 / 80

On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 1087 hitters at Rookie — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

    0.0y vs his level

    years younger than the median player at his level — positive is young for the level

The overall figure averages the 4 skill rows only. The box-score row and the age row are shown but deliberately left out of it — one is the result those skills produced, and the other is not a skill at all.

The argument

skills at the 47th percentile of the cohort, production at the 43th — the gap between the two is ordinary for this level.

Nothing to arbitrage here: he is producing about what his skills say he should. Judge the card on price and the player on the grades.

How this is read: his skills average 47 and his production sits at 43, a gap of +4. That gap on its own means little — an average of several percentiles always sits nearer the middle than a single one — so it is ranked against the same figure computed the same way for the 1,087 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 56th percentile.

Will he get there?

Long shot 4.2 / 10

  • nothing stands out either way

This is an ordering score, not a percentage. We hold no outcome data and have run no backtest, so “a 93% chance of reaching the majors” would be a number we made up and you then spent money on. Built on 82% of what it wants to know — missing readiness.

What his cards have sold forno completed sales logged yet

Real completed sales only — nothing here is an estimate. These come from the scan: it asks eBay about listings it has already seen, and one that ends at a fixed price is recorded as a sale. That builds up over days. You can add one by hand below if you happen to know it, but you are not meant to be the price database.

No sales logged yet. We need at least two to draw a line, and about five spread over a month before the numbers mean much. Add sales you find using the button below.
