Ha $150k and can't spring for a scanner. Gotta love it.

Figures you guys start a hot wave on the HHN black refractors. I just sent mine to PSA so I won't have it back for about a month. Noonan!

I love the HHN Black Refractor. I'd rather have the Update black, but I think the HHN is more attractive. Here is mine.

That's an amazing card. I'd actually prefer this on over the Update.

1. First and only Heritage (as opposed to second flagship)
2. Refractor (I mean, who doesn't like refractors?)

Looks great and a great candidate for a crossover. Any plans to cross over to PSA?

The 1969 design lends itself so well to chrome IMO. The Acuna photo is also fantastic. I wish they had used that photo for the auto, and had him sign directly above Braves.

Not at this time. It's not going anywhere any time soon, and I like the look of it in the BGS slab.

agreed

I would own one if that was the case.

Onlythefinest · 02-10-2019, 01:29 PM

I don’t wanna brag but I have the Acuna heritage black ref #13/69. Excited to get it graded next month.

WHyFLy · 02-10-2019, 01:29 PM

Yesterday I attended a local show to help a buddy set-up and see if I can make some deals. An older gentleman and his wife had set up with a ton of Chrome Autos just laying there. My buddy came to me and told me I needed to check this out, so I did. The guy had sitting out on the table a Jo Adell True Gold 1st BC Auto /50 (If you guys don't know the story, you need to read about it) and a Ronald Acuna Topps Chrome True Blue Refractor Auto /150. These were both sealed from Topps. I wish I had the capital to pick up the Adell, but I just didn't bring enough with me as I wasn't expecting that to be there; however, I had enough to wheel and deal on the Acuna.

For the lonely amount of $200, I kid you not, I was able to get this beauty. Going straight to BGS and if this doesn't gem, I will be disappointed!

P.S. my buddy grabbed that Adell for a Trout Auto valued at $700 and $400 cash... Looks like we found ourselves a new dealer to work deals with haha.

ALBASKETBALL · 02-10-2019, 01:32 PM

Nice grab

WHyFLy · 02-10-2019, 01:42 PM

So just curious, with the 2018 products finally coming to an end and a new season approaching. What would you guys and gals say are the most sought out rookies of this guy? Heritage Action, Heritage Chrome, Topps Chrome Colored, Series 2 SP (Bat Down), Update Chrome Colored?

I'd love to add some to my PC, but I just don't know what would be the best option to grab?

Not sure how some sellers can be so clueless.

I love the fact his auto is on a card with a different image not on any other
card. It was a must have for me.

Lol, well I'm not going to complain. It was funny because he had these 2 laid out on the table next to $10-20 Chrome autos. My buddy originally was showing me the Adell and he said he had an Acuna as well, so I had to take it.

shayscards79 · 02-10-2019, 02:04 PM

The season needs to start! Hopefully his stuff at least doubles by the end of the season.

Nice! Good luck!

ichirorox · 02-10-2019, 02:27 PM

Here is the one and only Acuna that I own. I actually forgot I had this until I started packing things up since I'm moving apartments next month lol. #/499

As you all know, I am speculating on Acuna, Soto and Ohtani. Hopefully, all of them will rise and shine. If I were to pick one, it would be Ohtani. This is purely based on gut feeling/hunch

. What do others feel?

I think 2018 will ultimately be an historical rookie class

Sent in about 5 of each Heritage Rookie to PSA. Those are my big 3

I've gone all in on Acuna/Soto, partially in on Torres. I'm just not sold on Ohtani. I may regret my decision to not buy much.

I've gone in on Acuna as I feel he is the biggest upside than all, but Soto is a close second. Torres can very well be a sleeper and I have a lovely Refractor Chrome Heritage Rookie of his at PSA. Ohtani, is the least of any of them, but I played it safe and got a small stash of him sitting.

My biggest concern for Acuna is Injury. Among the three, Ohtani will have the most discipline and motivation imo. I am not trying to sound like a racist here but Asian players have better focus to achieve their goals or strive hard to succeed compared to others imo

But, Ohtani is the one who is actually hurt at the moment.
