PSA has graded 10 of these. So there are 20 copies graded. You have to think that most of these have been graded if they have been pulled but let's say 40 copies graded and raw are out "in the wild" That's a ton of them still left in the boxes sealed up. This card will heat up IMO as more people catch onto it. Am I way off here thinking this?

I totally agree with you...this card should be a pretty popular parallel in terms of both looks and how few copies there seem to be out there. The difficulty and cost of pursuing a copy is pretty daunting; it’s why I thought the last auction that went for $4200 for a psa 10 or so looked a little lower than I would have thought relative to some other, more plentiful alternatives. Clearly I’m wrong, though, because I think someone said there’s a BIN for a BGS 10 for $5k still out there waiting for someone.
You could spend $90-$100 on a 2018 hobby complete set and pull one in the first box, as we just saw. But on average, with 702 cards and 5/pack, you would need to on average open 140 boxes or spend $13/14k to do it. I could see that cost to play moving up even more, if acuna and torres base cards appreciate and complete sets’ prices move up.
