Best 3 Madison Bumgarner Rookie Card Investments
Madison Bumgarner was born on 8/1/1989 and was drafted by the San Fransico Giants with the 10th pick in the First Rd of the 2007 MLB June Amateur Draft… Mad Bum rookie cards were already somewhat costly being a highly-touted prospect.
Bumgarner stands a hulking 6 foot 4 inches and uses his height to create excellent movement on his fastball.
At the age of 20, he posted a 7 win 6 lost season to go with a 3.00 ERA and 88 strikeouts… yep this kid was going to be good.
The following year (2011) he truly “broke out” posting 191 strikeouts and finishing 11th in the CY Young award voting.
Bumgarner has a reputation for playing by his own rules and is truly one of the best big-game pitchers of all time.
Madison Bumgarner World Series pitching stats show off a filthy .60 ERA to go with 4 wins and 0 losses!
Here are the top three Madison Bumgarner rookie cards for investment purposes.

2010 Madison Bumgarner Topps Rookie Card #105 (buy on eBay)
The Madison Bumgarner Topps Rookie Card is a great buy for investors looking to spend a little less cash but still have a good investment in Bumgarner.
Numbered #105 the card shows a goofy, big ear Mad Bum with a microphone in his grill?… guess he is about to be interviewed after a big outing… not the best-looking baseball card but not the worse either.
Top Investment: Ronald Acuna Jr. Rookie Cards
The back reads “Madison is the latest cog in the young pitching juggernaut being assembled by the San Fransico Giants. He toted his career 27-5 record and 1.65 ERA in the Minors to San Fransico last September as the only major league pitcher born in 1989 to appear in a 2009 Major League Baseball Game.”
2010 Topps Madison Bumgarner Rookie Card Allen & Ginter #6 (buy on eBay)
The Allen & Ginter Madison Bumgarner RC is a nice addition to a Madison fanboy collection and is our third pick due to the card being a very reasonable price and we like the looks of the card A LOT.
The card is numbered #6 and shows Madison staring down the pipe looking for the right sign.

Investment Outlook
As we mentioned we feel Madison Bumgarner rookie cards are pretty cheap right now in our opinion and will be for a few years while in the twilight of his career.
Buying a few (now) would be a good investment move as we feel his rookie cards will go higher much quicker once his HOF nomination/selection approaches.
We would stick with the Bowman Chrome (particularly an auto if you have the bankroll) and the Topps rookie card.
