Our take

Long-shot prospect, untested market.

Paul Wilson scores 24 out of 100 (#5811 of the 7,949 we score), and the case rests on one thing: young for the level — +1.0y vs his level at Low-A — younger than 78% of the players there.

Nothing of his has verifiably sold in 90 days and there is no benchmark price, so we will not tell you what his cards are worth.

Cards of his are listed and none of them can be priced against a confirmed sale, so any judgment about value today would be a guess dressed as a number.

The thing most likely to be wrong here: small sample — 88 batters faced this season — too few to read a rate stat off with any confidence.

The signal

  • Young for the level

    +1.0y vs his level at Low-A — younger than 78% of the players there.

  • Control: well below

    26.1% BB — walk rate, inverted — lower is better from the mound

  • K-BB% slipping

    15.6% last season to -1.1% this one.

  • Strikeouts slipping

    34.4% last season to 25.0% this one.

  • Stuff: above average

    25.0% K — strikeout rate per batter faced — never per nine innings, which flatters a pitcher who allows more baserunners Better than 69% at his level.

  • What the hobby pays up for

    SP sells at a discount at equal production.

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

  • Small sample

    88 batters faced this season — too few to read a rate stat off with any confidence.

  • Command risk

    Command grades 41 on the 20–80 scale (-1.1% K-BB). strikeouts minus walks — the gap that survives a promotion

  • Pitcher

    Injury risk is materially higher and the resale market is smaller, which is why the strategy caps what share of a book pitchers can take.

  • 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.

  • Modeled value only

    The fair values shown for his live cards are arithmetic from related evidence, not confirmed sales of the exact card.

Baseball vs card market

INSUFFICIENT MARKET EVIDENCE
The baseball
trajectory unmeasured
The cards
no measurable move

Why this divergence exists

We have not measured his baseball trajectory, so there is nothing to set the card market against.

Compare him with every player whose baseball has outrun his cards.

What the hobby pays for him

A benchmark is the one standardized card we track a player's market on, so every player's price means the same thing.

Benchmark not yet established no 1st Bowman vehicle observed for this player. Until one exists, only his individual listings can be judged.

Best Bowman card to own

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

Canonical card not establishedWe have not assigned him a benchmark card yet, so there is no canonical answer to give. Until one exists, only his individual listings can be judged.

Secondary and avoid: 2 live listings are a certified auto that is not (or not provably) his 1st Bowman Chrome — a later or lesser vehicle, ranked below the canonical card whatever its serial number.

Best value right now

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

Insufficient market evidence

Nothing of his has confirmed sold, so there is no value to measure against. Among the asks alone, No base auto listed — cheapest numbered option shown; premium ratio unavailable. That is a comparison of sellers, not evidence of what these are worth, and it rests on the print-run assumption rather than measured premiums.

Live listings that fit the thesis

Ranked by card fit, identity and listing quality — never by what pays us, and never cheapest-first.

Compared within $8.20–$17.22, about what his own cheapest card costs. Ranked on the price-blind investment score among the 60 live listings we had scored — a read on what we scanned, not on the whole market.

Catalyst timelineno logged or derived event yet

No event on his timeline yet — no logged promotion, call-up or injury, and no level change between the two seasons we hold. Derived events appear as stat lines land; logged ones appear with their source.

Every event on the catalyst tracker carries the same grade.

His canonical cardsno card identity established yet

A card reaches verified only from a checklist source. A seller's title can make it likely when independent sellers agree, and never more. Cards with a page of their own link to it.

No card identity has been established for him yet. A card enters this list when independent sellers describe the same card the same way or a confirmed sale names it — a single seller's title never does.

The parallel ladder4 versions of his cards in raw autos, each priced off its own confirmed sales

Every version of his cards we can see, base to 1/1. Each rung is priced off its own confirmed sales — a rung nothing has verifiably sold at shows no value rather than borrowing a neighbour's.

Showing Raw autos.

NO CLEAR SWEET SPOT

No rung of his has a confirmed sale behind it, so there is no price to compare any step against.

What he is good atSkills 45 on the 20–80 scale, against 708 pitchers at Low-A

On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 708 pitchers at Low-A — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

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

The overall figure averages the 3 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 33th percentile of the cohort, run prevention at the 13th — his tools run further ahead of his results than 85% of the players he is measured against.

The market prices the stat line, and his is behind what he is doing. That is where a card is cheap for a reason that can change.

How this is read: his skills average 33 and his run prevention sits at 13, a gap of +20. 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 706 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 85th percentile.

Will he get there?

Long shot 3.2 / 10

  • old for Low-A
  • pitcher — more of them break down before they arrive

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 76% of what it wants to know — missing production, form.

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.
