Hobby+

We are excited to introduce an expansion and formal tool for Max Arterburn's Hobby+, a stat that ranks non-debuted hitting prospects through the eyes of the baseball card hobby. You can find a primer of the stat here:

An Introduction to Hobby+
Hobby+ is a statistic-based system of tracking prospects through the eyes of the baseball card hobby. This is the introductory piece explaining what it is.

Pricing, Projected Value and BSI

We've combined the Hobby+ stat with daily updated eBay Pricing Data courtesy of @dahldoescards. The eBay price is based on the most recent sales of a prospect's 1st Bowman Chrome autograph.

From the Hobby+ number, we create a Projected Value that we utilize to present a Buy/Sell Indicator (BSI) for those cards.

Additional information like Peak Projections, powered by Scout the Statline, and tool grades from our scouting reports are included for reference.

Lastly, filter by Product, BSI, Team, Position and Level to drill down to particular groups of players (image above filtered by CF).


Where to Find the Tool

Hobby+ can be found in the PLIVE+ suite of tools, which can be accessed under the "60 Tier" $10/mo subscription level:
