how does one win a Gold version instead of a Regular?[/QUOTE]

No idea

[QUOTE=okumeister;16768196]2020 Stadium Chrome auto (#/25) of him just ended at $1,080.
The card has an awesome image of him doing the "Soto Shuffle", but I was extremely surprised by that final bid amount.[/QUOTE]

$1,080!? WHOA! :eek:

I guess I did pretty good snagging this Gold Refractor Auto /50 for only $260??

[QUOTE=HarryLime;16768717]Check out the Guerrero thread. He's dropped 40 pounds, plans to drop 10 more, and has been crushing 65 mph batting practice fastballs. His prices have gone up in the past month but there was a group of us here that were gobbling when the prices were lower.

In regard to Soto, #WaxAlwaysWins.

I think that is the regular version. I'm not aware of any parallels. Heres mine, starts yellow at the upper left and fades to gold at the lower right.

I believe the colors were different each month

Correct. From cardboardconnection

“2019 Topps Home Run Challenge Baseball features six different monthly editions. March and April are combined into one group, but the rest of the months get their own unique parallel. The rarity for each month is dictated by the number of collectors who correctly identify a home run for a given player. If the player does not hit a home run in a certain month, or no one guesses the game(s) in question, there are no cards issued.”


I believe the rarest is the Soto cards /3 shown here:

I’m not sure what colors go with what month...anyone?

^^^ everything about that listing is cringe-worthy

Right down to the item details

And from a 2000+ 100% seller

Ugh, it's that guy with his fancy "void warranty" stickers.

Gross.

[QUOTE=NCWolf;16769344]No kidding. Hell even the non licensed Panini stuff is drying up. Guy on ebay had 5 Chronicles blasters a few days ago and he’s been emptied out.[/QUOTE]

I made two separate orders yesterday for 2018 Optic. At this point, I figure the clock is ticking. At least at these price points.

So, who are you on here?

I would love to see Soto Hit .325 w/35+ homers in 2021. Juan's limited RC's are fueling optic plus it is a very nice looking card. I May eventually do a "big lots" run lookin for any leftover 2018 Topps Update, many in here mopped up the remaining 2018 Topps Update @ "Party City" late last year.....#WAW-wax always wins.

I think this thread single handily drove up the price of Chronicles on BO, and knocked out the only decently priced hobby boxes left on ebay. Sorry folks!

Soto is not in regular optic release just FYI, only in the Chronicles Optic

I don't know what Chronicles was priced at before but it looked good enough for me to place a third order.

[QUOTE=ThoseBackPages;16768563]2018 Wax with Soto in it, grab what you can[/QUOTE]

2018 Update launch into orbit in about another six weeks. Hobby boxes will be $800 before you know it.

I had another deal fall through, so I used that money to grab a jumbo, retail full box, and a case of hangers. Small potatoes, I know, but this will be the start of my sealed wax stash.

Every time I try to stash wax I always lose discipline. Never fails.

[QUOTE=NCWolf;16771676]Every time I try to stash wax I always lose discipline. Never fails.[/QUOTE]

I had that problem until I bought a PSA graded 1970 Topps pack for $200. The idea of opening a $200 pack and getting worthless off-center commons scared me straight and the slab was a good deterrent, too.

Ever since then, I haven't had a problem. Now I have, like, four of those industrial shelving units you get at Lowe's full of boxes and packs. It's a nice pick-me-up when you're feeling down to just look at shelf after shelf of unopened boxes and blasters and factory sets.

I was not the culprit who bought the eBay case for $3800. But I did get mine cheaper then $3800!

Want an opinion from everyone. I picked this up for under $1000. 9/10 bgs 1/1 printing plate auto with sick patch. Good price?
