Oakland's ace Dan Haren has an impressive 14-4 record, with a 2.66 ERA and is averaging 7.58 K's & 2.23 BB's per 9 IP. Unfortunately, he was on pace to have even better stats than that, but has fallen off some over the past two months. Through the end of June, he was 9-2 with a 1.91 ERA. Since then, he's gone 5-2 (generous considering his ERA) with a 4.09 ERA.
Haren's 03 Bowman's Best Auto RC has fallen also, in line with his performance. In June, it was averaging around $40 TAC. In July, it fell to the mid $30's range. Now, in August, it's averaging in the mid $20's. That's a 37.5% drop! With a drastic price change like that, I'm assuming that the price rose too quickly initially, and now the market is correcting itself. Another victim of the "finicky buyer" effect.

Haren falls into a weird category. He's been excellent this year, but his cards haven't reflected his performance. Do people think he's a 1 year wonder? I place him in the same category as Brandon Webb. A very good pitcher, but his cards don't really get the attention like others.
