As the old saying goes, “Like father, like son.” But when it comes to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the similarities he shares with his Hall-of-Fame father are straight-up spooky. Through his first 403 major-league games, Vladdy Sr. owned a .363 on-base percentage; over his first 403 games, Vlad Jr.’s OBP was identical. Vlad Sr. also hit 87 home runs across those 403 games: Vladdy Jr.—you guessed it—also smacked 87 dingers over that span. If this bizarre pattern continues to hold, Vladimir Jr. should finish his career with nine All-Star appearances, eight Silver Slugger awards, an AL MVP, and a place in Cooperstown. And if that becomes the case, then this 2016 Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor Rookie Auto will soar farther than a Vladdy Jr. homerun (and, man, do those things soar!) Of course, no one can predict the future, but with its color match, limited print run, and 10 auto grade to go with a BGS 9.5 GEM MINT distinction, this card is sure to be in high demand if the 23-year-old can even touch this tantalizing potential.
