I will agree with you that no-hitters generate a lot of short-term interest for the pitchers who throw them, but collectors are fickle. Any card from a national baseball set that commemorates a no-hitter is worth less than that pitcher's regular card within the same set (the point here being that the no-hitter card is in less demand than their regular card). <br /><br />You've brought up some great points!Anthony Nunezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242610826264193511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601288284583281350.post-55567554416587357132016-05-05T12:34:41.868-07:002016-05-05T12:34:41.868-07:00Arrieta's high print run card was for a No-Hit...Arrieta's high print run card was for a No-Hitter. Collectors love No-Hitters and I know several who would head to the LCS the day after to buy cards of the latest hurler to pitch one. I could have predicted that the No-Hitter would have the highest print run (even over the hot rookies) based on the nature of the event. Any future No-No will do the same. You have to remember that there are far more people who are collectors than there are speculators. Trevor Story may or may not pan out, but he isn't from my team so, unless I'm "investing", why would I care? But No-Hitters are history forever, regardless of which team or player gets one.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.com
