Dylan Carlson Rookie Cards are about to explode! We have been paying close attention to the St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training, and this kid has been the talk of the town!
This is precisely what Mo was hoping for by not signing a big-time free agent over the off-season (it was a huge risk but one that appears to be paying off). It is still early, but we have never heard the Cardinals organization rave about a kid the way they do about Carlson. We have already purchased more than 50 of his rookie cards and are adding them daily.
